And, then there's a Big Version of Spaceship Earth 'Geodesically'.
One of the most famous geodesic domes is Spaceship Earth at EPCOT in Disney World, Florida. The EPCOT icon's adaptation of Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome.
GreenPolicy360's founder was invited in the early 80s by the Disney company to the opening of Epcot and the Spaceship Earth exhibit to report on 'how far Disney has gone since Mickey Mouse in "Steamboat Willie". Toot, steam whistle, they even gave me an archival wooden cabinet from their Studio in the Valley. Its drawers were for art, cells, renderings... and yes Disney went a long way from the hand-drawn celluloid cartoons to theme parks Disneyland, Disney-world... The day the Epcot gates opened, it was blue skies and there in Florida was a Very Big Spaceship Earth.... and of course a ride and a voice guide. We used to call the best rides E-tickets. For me E-tiks will be forever, altho' now the tiks are just digital bits...
