Russia: New Siberia Space Launch Site in 2015 

President Vladimir Putin told astronauts in orbit on Friday that Russia will send up the first manned flights from its own soil in 2018, using a new launch pad he said will help the once-pioneering space power explore deep space and the moon.

He said the first launch from Vostochny will be in 2015 and the first manned flight in 2018.
