SPACESHIP EARTH – WISH UPON A STAR!

BEACON Of MAGIC LIGHTS!

At EPCOT, Disney’s magnificent Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow, there stands an iconic attraction called Spaceship Earth. It is a colossal silver geodesic sphere filled with magic and wonder.

Spaceship Earth was inspired by theorist/futurist R Buckminster Fuller. He is the inventor of the geodesic dome and the author of a book called “Operation Manual for Spaceship Earth.” Fuller studied how technology, including architecture, could improve our daily lives.

As you approach from the park’s grand entrance, Spaceship Earth looms much larger than first imagined. Inside, you are transported into a world of discovery and exploration. A ride takes you on a journey through time and space, showcasing the history of human communication and technological advancement, from caveman paintings to the invention of the printing press to the dawn of our digital age. It is filled with wonders and adventures.

From the first memories, forever etched in your mind, of walking towards that larger-than-life sphere, Spaceship Earth is a marvelous achievement not to be missed.
