NASA's wild corn mazes celebrate 50 years of space exploration

This fall, NASA is teaming up with seven farms (including one in Fredericksburg, Va.) to build giant corn mazes that honor major achievements in the U.S. space program. It's called the Space Farm 7 mission, and it is not a delusion in your head. Here are computer models of the NASA mazes that will debut later this month and in October, created by the world's largest corn-maze company, Utah's The Maize Inc.

New York gives a shout out to Hubble

The Hubble Space Telescope, which has studied everything from extrasolar planets to dark energy, is given a dirt home at the Liberty Ridge Farm in Schaghticoke, N.Y. These mazes will “challenge and delight visitors” by keeping them lost for up to three hours, says The MAiZE Inc.
