WDW Fact of the Day 2/25

[alpro2]

Spaceship Earth is a geodesic sphere, standing at 180 feet tall & 165 feet in diameter, & weighing an estimated 16 million pounds. There are 11,324 silvered facets on 954 triangular panels covering the globe. The exterior tiles are made of Alucobond material, a composite of ethylene plastic which has been chemically bonded between two aluminum panels. This material can withstand the Florida climate and is self - cleaning. Rainwater is channeled through the structure and sent to underground drains, where it replenishes the World Showcase Lagoon. It has an outside surface of 150,000 square feet.
