The tensegrity sphere is definitely an interesting idea for sure. I like the ideas that fuller presented overall because it really shows the essence of innovation - you must first see the vision in your head for it to become a reality. Then you determine if it is realistic to build and so on but it is all the same - you must see the vision.

It also helps that as a famous person one can take credit for other people's vision.
