In a Philadelphia, United States, office, on April 18, 1979 R. Buckminster Fuller holds up a Tensegrity sphere – one of his inventions thatÂs inspired a space project. Dr. Ernest Okress of the Franklin Center envisions the structure, made of rods and cables, as the basis for a Spherical Tensegrity Atmospheric Research Station  STARS. A giant Tensegrity sphere could be light and strong enough to support a floating space station a mile in diameter. (AP Photo/WGI)
