Apple’s New “Spaceship” Campus Larger Than Pentagon!! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Orefsmisits** · 08-22-2011, 01:32 AM

Few days after WWDC 2011, Steve Jobs revealed Apple’s plans for a massive new campus in Cupertino, CA known as the “Spaceship”. Now, a new report from Mac Observer suggests that the new campus is larger than the U.S. Pentagon and New York City’s Empire State Building.

The diameter of Apple’s new campus will be 1,615 feet, which will span farther than the Pentagon’s diameter of 1,566 feet. Also, the distance across the massive circle is greater than the height of the Empire State Building, at 1,250 feet.

Mac Observer laid other objects over the plans for Apple’s campus to provide a better perspective. The image shows the with a cruise ship, U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier, a blimp, a World War II battleship, and a supertanker laid over them. Also, the ”Spaceship” stretches farther across all of those objects. The longest object shown in the illustration is a supertanker at 1,504 feet.

Apple’s new campus will occupy about 2.8 million square feet, and will include an auditorium that would hold 1,000 people, and new research facilities including 300,000 square feet. The facility will be able to support up to 13,000 employees.

The company still must obtain formal approval, but Cupertino Mayor Gilbert Wong said there is “no chance” that the council would not approve the structure. If all goes according to plan, Apple plants to open the new campus in 2015.

As much as I hate Apple I give them a thumbs up for doing this. I think their products and cult have an elitist mentality, and they're douchebags in general, but this is a good move. Hats off to them.

Well, they gotta spend the $70B in cash reserves on something.

**Orefsmisits** · 08-22-2011, 03:37 AM

They do have more market shares then Exxon/Mobil now. So hey, why not build the biggest "ON" button on planet earth.

Yet another uneducated low brow response from JoseyWales. It's a shame they don't ban for idiocy. The funniest part is that you probably thought they were moving to Cupertino, Canada. [rofl]. You are a waste of space and I sincerely hope your poor kids are no where near as stupid as you are. BTW, below is how I picture you to look. The google search I used was "stupid looking hicks." I kid you not, that's exactly what I typed in.

OP: Awesome looking facility, I can only imagine how amazing the completed building will look.

**adactthrd** · 08-22-2011, 06:11 AM

Amazing, if they would have shown us this news article ten years ago we would have laughed our heads off! [rofl]

**GotActichwicy** · 08-22-2011, 09:35 AM

A giant Apple logo would've been better! [rofl]

I couldn't imagine the structural & engineering costs if Apple ever changed their logo.

**pharweqto** · 08-22-2011, 12:26 PM

Don't forget, the Pentagon has a LOT of it underground!

Agree about the "Apple" comment - I'm surprised they didn't do it - the only corporate logo that could be seen from space...

I assume that's supposed to mean you don't regard either of them as being representative of "real" (read redneck) Americans?
