Iowa is also frequently picked on, but I remember that Captain Kirk, when someone said "Don't tell me, you're from outer space," replied "No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space."

My own home state (Utah) has only produced two astronauts, including former senator Jake Garn. Apparently we like it here on Earth, and would rather launch our politicians to space.

Actually New York has the birthed the most astronauts - 29 born in the state plus two "space tourists."
