HYDRO, Okla. — It’s apt that a maze cut into an Oklahoma cornfield featuring the likeness of a former NASA astronaut can be seen from space — and has been photographed by a satellite orbiting Earth.

The image of Oklahoma-born Thomas P. Stafford is cut into a 10-acre field at P Bar Farms in Hydro, about 60 miles west of Oklahoma City.

The maze was created in partnership with the Stafford Air and Space Museum, named for the astronaut, in nearby Weatherford.

A satellite photographed the tribute from its orbit 400 miles away.

Very nice but is it visible from space with he naked eye?
Nowadays when there are satellites that can read license plates from orbit, "visible from space" is not as impressive as it used to be.
Still nice work though. Kudos.

I see why he died... there’s something growing out of the left side of his head.
