Coming soon: From Oklahoma to space, twice a day.

Great day at Oklahoma’s Infinity One Spaceport in Burns Flat earlier this week to celebrate the groundbreaking for the Dawn Aerospace Mission Control & Operations Facility.

Dawn’s innovation in space transportation is going to be fun to watch, and spark a lot of interest in the next generation to enter STEM pathways. Welcome to Oklahoma, Dawn Aerospace!

Proud of the film and television industry we’ve been able to build up in Oklahoma the last eight years. The Lowdown is our latest star! First two episodes of season 2 drop tonight!

Ethan Hawke returns as Tulsa "truthstorian" Lee Raybon in Season 2 of the FX series 'The Lowdown' from "Reservation Dogs" boss Sterlin Harjo.

Enjoyed hosting Stefan Powell and Charlie Lever from Dawn Aerospace today at the Capitol. Very excited for Dawn Aerospace’s groundbreaking tomorrow at Infinity One Spaceport in Burns Flat. Their remotely piloted aircraft provides routine, affordable access to suborbital space and speeds over Mach 3. It’s wonderful to see the vision of the company grow from initial conversations a few years ago to construction. Grateful for their investment and for choosing Oklahoma!

Don’t miss my last Lt. Governor’s Travel & Tourism Summit!

Join us Tuesday, October 20, at the Stafford Air & Space Museum in Weatherford for an afternoon of ideas, practical strategies, and connections with tourism professionals from across Oklahoma.

Our host venue, named for Weatherford native and astronaut Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Stafford, tells the story of aviation and space exploration through thousands of artifacts. Visitors can see Stafford’s flown Gemini spacecraft and space suits, along with an actual Titan II rocket. It’s a remarkable Oklahoma destination and a fitting place to talk about the future of tourism in our state. The afternoon will wrap up with a town hall with me, followed by a networking reception.
