| "As inventor of the "SpaceHouse" I'd like to pint out, that the "SpaceHouse" is "relocateable" by heavy lift heliocopters. Main reason/purpose is to anable city planners to be more flexible then having cast in immobile heavy 'steel/concrete' composite ! " (Fritz Gampe 9/2/2004 2:31:35 AM) |
| "I could see an added advantage of a retractable set of roller wheels to the bottom of the pads just in case the terrain becomes unstable during a severe weather condition preventing an aereal lift of the structures to a more suitaable location...jj" (johnnyjupiter2001 12/3/2004 5:55:49 PM) |

The reflexion off the glass atracts the birds. " (Christopher Thomas 6/23/2005 5:02:39 PM) |
