If you think space can be complex, check out these corn mazes created by NASA.
Called Space Farm 7, CNET reports, the mazes honor NASA’s 50 years, and are located in seven regions on the country (Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Gretna, NE). According to a release, these farms were selected to host the mazes as the top ‘agritourism’ farms in the country:
“We are honored to be chosen to be part of this program,” said Brett Herbst, founder of The MAiZE Inc., which designs and carves the mazes. “Not only do we get to collaborate with other farm operators across the nation in a unified effort to entertain and educate families, we are also going to be part of history in paying tribute to NASA.”
Dell' Osso Family Farm
Rock Ranch
Vala's Pumpkin Patch
Liberty Ridge
Belvedere Plantation
The mazes are open to the public and will have an educational aspect. Even if you don’t live near one of the mazes, anyone can vote for his or her favorite maze and enter to win a trip to the Kennedy Space Center.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 12:20pmIt‘s a sad state of affaris when it’s more lucrative for farmers to use their farmland for corn mazes and harvest festivals than for food.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 6:54amQuestion? Did OUR tax dollars pay for this? I’m a HUGE fan of NASA, but shouldn’t the money be used for space? Oh, that’s right Obama canceled the space program
Report Post »SamIamTwo
Posted on October 11, 2011 at 7:24amNah, he didn’t cancel it he stretched it out. We’ve done this under past presidents…you keep the top scientist in order not to lose the skills and have to start from scratch should you need to restart NASA.
but yeah I’d like to know if a federal grant was awarded for this or not…
