Derrah conveys Fuller’s perpetual excitement in the workings of the universe and his own remarkable mind….even if you’re scratching your head, chances are you’ll be glad you heard him say it.

The Boston Globe

Journey through the universe on Spaceship Earth with the Leonardo da Vinci of the twentieth century as your guide. Futurist, environmentalist, and geodesic dome designer Bucky Fuller takes us on an adventure through his life and times—from his childhood in Massachusetts, to his meeting with Albert Einstein, to his breakthrough moments of invention. A visionary who anticipated many of the challenges the world faces today, Fuller shows us how to save humanity and the planet by doing more with less.
