Kansans in Space

According to Wikipedia, three people from Kansas have been into space: Joe Engle, Ron Evans and Steve Hawley. Their hometowns are highlighted with highway signs commemorating their achievements and each hometown is on I-70. Hence, I thought Kansas was home to dozens of astronauts - that virtually the entire population of the state yearned to reach the stars. Nope. Just the three.

NASA has a PDF worksheet that lists astronauts by home state.
