    The Airforce Academy Chapel is actually just a storage rack for star destroyers...

    @Gann: Ha... Space Needle seemed too obvious. Plus, I was thinking of doing a gallery of rocket ship buildings, and it would have fit in there. But I ran out of time, plus four galleries seemed enuf.

    @Charlie Jane Anders: I drive by that pegasus trek theme park all the time (It is now closed). It sits next to a little neighborhood built by the monolithic dome institute:

    Next to it is a cute multi-domed caterpiller structure:

    HUGE omission here: the old Newseum building dome in Rosslyn (Arlington), Virginia.

    @Daveinva: It does look amazing..... I'm actually doing a followup gallery (I think) on buildings that look like weird space items, but not like any particular famous ship. I might steal that. :)

    @Doctor Who?: Wow that is totally made of awesome. I would add it, but our gallery software makes it really hard to add pics after the fact.... But I'm glad you added it so people who scroll down will see it!
