Of course if you're a Papercreter that has been around for several
months or are really resourceful you might have gleaned enough
information to get another current picture of Spaceman's dome. The
trick is to know exactly where to look on the satellite images
available on various online mapping services.
Did I just throw down a challenge? LOL

My dome is pretty far from the Monolithic design. They use a
hemispherical air form, sprayed foam and concrete to make a smooth
hemisphere. Mine is a geodesic, made from triangular panels and
covered with papercrete, in a 5/9 sphere truncation. My method cost a
lot less than theirs, too.
I quit updating the website in 2002 before the dome was finished,
when the website was hacked and everything past about April
disappeared. I have several times started looking for the lost
pictures and narrative, but have never accomplished that goal.
Meanwhile, I moved into the dome in November of 2002 and have been
happily living there ever since. A couple of years ago I removed the
roof over the back room and am in the process of rebuilding it,
slowly. So, it was almost finished, then I decided to revise the back
roof, so it is still unfinished. In the meantime I have added a
couple of smaller domes, pipe frames covered with pc triangle
panels. Here is a picture taken in June 2002 with some areas still
needing pc layers.
