A labyrinth: a UK farm creates the maze of Apollo 11 corn depicting the landing of the Moon
The National Forest Adventure Farm in Burton-Upon-Trent, UK, has unveiled footage taken by an amazing corn maze drone created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. The maze maze reproduced the iconic photo of Apollo 11's astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface captured by mission commander Neil Armstrong, as well as an immense representation of the Saturn V rocket which transported the astronauts in their historic mission.
It's really a labyrinth.
A magnificent labyrinth representing Buzz Aldrin, the Apollo 11 astronaut, was created in a cornfield on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the moon's landing.
The cornfield maze of the National Forest Adventure Farm in Burton-Upon-Trent, UK, recreates Aldrin's iconic photo on the lunar surface captured by Apollo 11 mission commander Neil Armstrong. It also features a huge representation of the Saturn V rocket that carried NASA astronauts Aldrin, Armstrong and Michael Collins on their historic mission.

Drone images show the giant labyrinth, which extends over a 10-acre cornfield. SWNS reports that the maze has three miles of paths, bridges, and observation towers.
The seeds of the labyrinth were sown in May. "After months of planning, we're really excited to unveil the design, especially as our 16th annual Labyrinth will celebrate the achievements of these pioneering astronauts 50 years ago," said SWNS, owner of the National Forest Adventure Farm.
Only 12 men, all Americans, walked on the moon.

As part of its fiftieth anniversary celebration, Apollo 11, the National Forest Adventure Farm also sent a stuffed animal into a balloon that traveled 22 km into the Earth's stratosphere. When the balloon has burst, the toy cow is parachuted to Earth safely.
