Ohio, it's a statistical fact.
More people from Ohio have become astronauts than any other state/territory in the world
Because when youre an Astronaut you can get as far away from Ohio as humanely possible. No one else has that kind of motivation to complete the rigorous training.
Even before astronauts were a thing. Ohio inspired two men to invent airplanes, because they had already traveled to the East Coast by then, and couldn't run across the ocean to get further from Ohio. They had to adapt and learn to fly
The Ohio class nuclear missile submarine is named for its feared ability to turn any place in the world into Ohio

In case the timestamp link doesn’t work, just jump to 1:06
Warning, this is absolutely brain rot, but also hilarious
Most astronauts only go about 250 miles up, the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati. That said, Neil Armstrong got a lot further away from Ohio.
You're seeing the glass as half empty, I see it as half full...
At one point in the orbit you are only 250 miles away from Cleveland.
But at the other end of the orbit that's 250 miles and the entire planet earth between you and Cleveland. You get a chance to be the farthest human from Ohio, every rotation.
Being a Browns fan will do that to you.
