Author	Topic: Mural Machine Charles Bassett art (Dayton)
Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 42988 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 06-27-2019 11:38 PM A large mural honoring the late astronaut Charles Bassett has been installed on the All Tune and Lube at 400 E. Third Street in Dayton, Ohio. "This is a man who died in the pursuit of space," Bryan Stewart a community activist, said. "The final frontier." Stewart partnered with The Mural Machine — a duo behind more than 100 large, public art works in the Dayton area since 2015 — on a mural that pays tribute to Bassett and Ohio's space heritage. The design includes a rendering of Bassett in his space suit and stats about Ohio's space history.
