  1. Thank you for the update! I will be going during the Christmas Holiday (I know...braving for the crowds). I'm wondering do you think the construction going on will be finished by that point?

  2. Sadly the elevated light in the Norway Pavilion is always there, looking terrible. Why can't they create some nordic banner to cover it up or something?

  3. Spaceship Earth is a SPHERE and not a dome!

  4. "A geodesic dome is a spherical or partial-spherical shell structure or lattice shell based on a network of great circles (geodesics) on the surface of a sphere"

    So, yes, SSE is a geodesic dome AND a sphere.
