| Do you recognize
the voice of the narrator? That’s Judi
Dench, who recently played the role of 'M',
James Bond's boss, in the James Bond films,
and was the voice of Mrs. Calloway in the
Disney animated film "Home on the Range". |

|
| Spaceship Earth
is 180 feet high and 165 feet in diameter,
and weighs nearly 16 million pounds. The
support piling for the six massive support
legs are buried from 120 to 185 feet into
the ground. |
|
|
|
| To be mathematically
precise, Spaceship Earth is not a sphere
but a pentakis dodecahedron. |
|
|
|
| The sphere is
actually composed of two spheres. The outer
sphere is comprised of 11,324 silvered facets
on 954 triangular panels. The inner sphere
contains the tracks and maintenance rooms
for the attraction itself. |
|
|
|
| A specially developed
gutter system keeps rain from cascading off
of the sphere. Rainwater is instead channeled
through underground drains that lead to World
Showcase Lagoon. |
