A butter sculpture of an astronaut was set up at the Ohio State Fair yesterday in honor of the just-ended space shuttle program. The astronaut sits at a shuttle control panel, eating freeze-dried ice cream. Next to him in the Dairy Building at the state fairgrounds in Columbus stands the fair’s traditional Holstein cow and its calf, also made of butter. They don’t melt because they’re kept in a 45-degree glass case. Three sculptors from Cincinnati, artists Bob Kling, Alex Balz and Paul Brooke, made the figures. Nineteen Ohio natives or residents have flown on the shuttle, the best-known being former Sen. John Glenn, who was the first American to orbit Earth in 1961.
