These scenes replaced scenes of blue lights and images of a child playing with various objects such as computer chips found in the previous Cronkite/"Tomorrow's Child" version. The declining area is where the new scenes were added for the Jeremy Irons version, such as a child's bedroom with high tech video equipment. The ride inclines through the geosphere, and at the end guests' vehicles decline backwards as if they were returning to Earth after their journey through time. From Ancient Greek drama and Gutenberg's printing press to telegraphs, telephones, radios, motion pictures, television, and computers, guests explore communication. Within the geosphere guests travel through time from the beginning of civilization to today. The narrator of the ride changed from Walter Cronkite to Jeremy Irons in 1994 along with a new musical score and 12 new scenes. Along with this change came the song "Tomorrow's Child." The original narrator, Vic Perrin, changed to Walter Cronkite in 1986. Now it has the Leave a Legacy stones that make the area not as open. The area before the Ball used to be open with a tall fountain and sculpture in the middle with the Epcot symbol. The "Epcot" sign and the hand/wand were completely removed from Spaceship Earth in summer 2007.Īlso, the surrounding area of Spaceship Earth has changed. In 2001, the 2000 sign changed to say "Epcot." Sparkly stars covered the top of the ball along with the sign. The Ball has had changes to the outside that included a sparkly 2000 sign held up by Mickey's hand and his sorcerer's wand with the Millennium Celebration that started in October 1999.
Since it's opening in 1982, when it was sponsored by the Bell System, a few changes have happened including new sponsorships by AT&T and Siemens. Spaceship Earth, the center attraction of Epcot, is an 18-story "geosphere", that looks like a giant golf ball. Spaceship Earth (1982-present) was originally sponsored by Bell System, then AT&T, and currently Siemens, with a sponsorship absence between AT&T and Siemens.
This is particularly important to study if humans are to live in microgravity for extended periods of time."For eons our planet has drifted as a spaceship through the universe, and for a brief moment we have been its passengers." This lesson, intended for upper secondary school students (14-17), explains the basics of the immune system but also discusses the fact that astronauts in Space, for various reasons, have depressed immune responses. Understanding how the immune system functions will eventually lead to answers about many diseases including cancers. This lesson for lower secondary school children (12-14) demonstrates how balance can also be affected by visual cues and incorporates a fun practical activity. In conditions of microgravity such as on the ISS, astronauts can be very easily disoriented. Keeping balance on Earth is relatively easy because gravity dictates how the vestibular apparatuses behave in the inner ears. This lesson for secondary school students (16-18), explains different types of radiations and how some forms of radiation pose a threat to astronauts. Radiation is the term used for all phenomena characterised by the transport of energy, either by waves or sub-atomic particles.
