State with an astronaut on its quarter (4)

I believe the answer is:

ohio

(Other definitions for ohio that I've seen before include "great river" , "Midwestern US state and river" , "Turning engine part" , "State of east central US" , "American state, capital Columbus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post and the LA Times.
