Astronauts aboard IKE for special event

Kind of off topic, but this thread makes me realize how much aviation has come out of Ohio.

Armstrong is from Ohio and currently lives about 15 miles from my house. He was also a professor at the University of Cincinnati.

John Glenn is from Cambridge, OH.

Paul Tibbets resided in Ohio later in his life and also went to UC for a short period.

And the men who started it all... The Wright Brothers are from Dayton, OH.

"22 astronauts were born in Ohio. What is it about your state that makes people want to flee the earth?"

--Stephen Colbert


In all seriousness, though, very cool.
