I watched a Proton launch tonight from Baikonur(via satellite, of course) launching the Hughes built Astra satellite into orbit. The Russian facilities are sparse, but it certainly didn't hamper the launch. We won't know for sure that the sat reached GTO until 6 hours after launch(which was at 7:31PM central time, 6:31AM Baikonur time), but everything up to that point was flawless. Interesting pre-launch presentation as well.

Bill, the LOR political thread exists because this LOR thread wants nothing to do with that discussion. With all due courtesy, please discontinue posting links back to it, or to referencing it in any way. Thanks, Mike Doyle
