FAA allows commercial spaceflights out of Oklahoma Spaceport. Please see that article for authors. Johntex\^talk 04:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some things I think are wrong with this article:

• The History section is almost word-for-word with its source. Definitely needs rewriting.
• The Licensing section reads like a news article.

Per this summary of remarks by John Carmack of Armadillo Aerospace at the SpaceAccess2010 conference, there will some VTVL rocket launches from the Oklahoma Spaceport in the near future.

John Carmack, Armadillo Aerospace

• the idea of flying a rocket only once a year or once a quarter "is so not where you want to be"
• [Armadillo] Expect[s] to fly up to 6000' at home base at Caddo Mills Municipal Airport, then to Oklahoma Spaceport (Clinton-Sherman Airport) to 20,000', then to Spaceport America near Las Cruces NM

I doubt that source is considered a "reliable source" per WP:V, but it is something interested folk will want to watch for to update the article after the event, and coverage in durably-archived media. N2e (talk) 18:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can find no evidence to support Clinton-Sherman being an "Alternate" landing site for the shuttle. Only Edwards AFB is currently considered an "Alternate" landing site. There are many facilities that have been named as possible "emergency" landing sites, including several in the USA. But none of the lists of emergency landing sites lists Clinton-Sherman. Even if it were, there is a difference between an "Alternate" site and an "emergency" landing site. At most, it could be a potential "emergency" landing site, but not an "alternate."

Clinton-Sherman is hardly mentioned on any NASA site, and not identified as an emergency landing site..

It is true that: 1) the Oklahoma Government once proposed that Clinton-Sherman be a launch/landing facility for the _next_ generation of shuttle (The canceled VentureStar program; http://www.oksenate.gov/news/press_releases/press_releases_1998/PR980521.html); 2) A private company is currently developing a space plan at the facility.

An early secondary source claims "the air park _was_ considered an alternate. . ." but note the past tense. It is possible that Clinton-Sherman was in contention to be named an alternate site early on, but lost out to Edwards, White Sands, and Vandenberg. It may be that the phrase "in consideration" morphed into "is considered."Hypertextopher (talk) 00:16, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent political action in Oklahoma legislature: "Oklahoma State Rep. David Dank wants to shut down the Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority as part of a broader consolidation of government, according to News on 6:

The agency is getting $424,289 from the state this year. Executive Director Bill Khourie’s salary is $86,005.With Rocketplane Gone, Does Oklahoma Still Need a Space Authority?

Thought that other editors might be interested in this development, and perhaps the political fight ought to be mentioned in the article. N2e (talk) 06:08, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
