Survival sphere dome rises as modern ark in Virginia hills
In Roseland, Virginia, Joe Campbell and his son Mark build a geodesic dome they call a survival sphere, claiming it is earthquake hurricane and flood proof. Campbell, a former journalist and minister, envisions the dome as a construction office and guest house amid mountain scenery. The project grew from a church group brainstorming session and resembles a large balloon from 200 yards away.
