The New York Times:
The circular building housing Apple’s headquarters in Silicon Valley is so big, it’s nearly a mile in circumference. So it’s hard to fathom that it is not actually attached to the ground.
The spaceship, as the building is often called, is a mammoth example of a technology that reduces earthquake shaking by as much as 80 percent.
The building is one of a relatively small number in the United States that use so-called base-isolation technology.
It looks like under the Apple spaceship campus is almost as interesting as what’s above ground.
Of course it’s not actually attached to the ground. How else are they supposed to lift off once they attach the rockets?
