The \"alien mathematics\" or \"unfamiliar mathematics\" used in our storyboard draws from his research. The big idea here is making the tetrahedron a centerpiece of the geometry.\n", "\n", "### GEODESIC DOME\n", "\n", "Fuller is associated with the Geodesic Dome as a basis for many sheltering solutions, including for use off Earth, such as on the Moon or on Mars.\n", "\n", "The Tacoma Dome, visible from I-5 when driving between Seattle and Portland, is a good example of a Geodesic Dome. \n", "\n", "\"Tacoma\n", "\n", "Many domes were built in Canada to protect radar. These are called radomes. Sometimes the skeletal triangles are randomized so they don't show up as patterns on radar.\n", "\n", "![dome home](./images/dome_home.jpg)\n", "

Alexander Graham Bell also studied the octet truss in the early 1900s, although he didn't use that terminology.\n", "\n", "\n", "You don't have to already know Python to learn some Martian Math.
