Corn field mazes are always popular this time of the year. But these corn fields have something extra special because they are also tributes to all of the hard work performed by NASA. It seems like an appropriate venue for a support message for the space agency, considering the storied ties through crop circles. But fun and education has also been incorporated throughout different sections of the maze, with science and NASA providing the lessons. The project’s name is Space Farm 7, and each of the seven mazes was a collaboration between NASA and The MAiZe, Inc. The MAiZe, Inc. is a Utah-based maze designer that works with farmers in the United States as well as Canada, the UK, and Poland.
