Surprisingly, the New Apple Building Is Not the First Spaceship Campus out There

Surprisingly, the New Apple Building Is Not the First Spaceship Campus out There

Apple's computers, smartphones, and other gear are all pretty cool, but lately Apple has been working building on its most outrageous and cool item to date: its new campus. The office building will be larger than the Pentagon and is designed with the latest technology. The building is longer than a mile in length and will house 13,000 employees in 2.8 million square feet of office space. Check out the video at the end of this post.

The circular building is called Campus 2, but is usually referred to as the spaceship. Apple is not the first to build something like this.

Spaceship building

A Chinese firm, NetDragon Websoft, has gone even further. Check out the outrageous building, obviously inspired by Star Trek's Enterprise, and more specifically, the Next Generation's NCC-1701D. Trekkies could even consider the Apple building to be the "saucer separation" model of that ship! See for yourself:
