BnG-Dome-2009

The Autosub Dome, 2009

For some reason, in 2009, Autosub decided they wanted a dome instead of a cube.  It might of had something to do with aerial silks.  Or something to do with owning versus leasing.  Eventually non-geodesic became part of the mission.  Anyhow, now we have a dome.
