Apple Campus 2 Drone Video Shows Recent Progress on Spaceship-Shaped Building

I heard that the giant dirt pyramid was to allow his hidden tomb to be discovered a few millennia from now.
Yes. This is what Ive said in that New Yorker profile.
I have a feeling Ive is so personally involved in this project because he knows Steve would have been we're he still alive.
Has the company said which teams are moving to the new campus and which ones are staying at IL? I think the only thing made public, via that New Yorker article is that the design teams will be occupying part of the top floor in the new building.
I keep wondering how this guy gets away with flying a drone over private corporate business, in between construction cranes, violating the privacy fencing and not get sued? Wonder if he is in cahoots with one of the construction companies and is using it as a cover for shooting these? "Just taking video of our cranes at work here!"? Its a cool video, just wondering how he gets away with it.
I think Tim Cook said that odds were not good (but not zero) for it to be finished in time for the 2017 shareholders meeting.
Yeah?
Hope they strengthened the floorboards.

At least ten, I should imagine, if not more.

Maybe, maybe not. They're unidentified.
It needs two warp nacelles connected to it. Maybe have a hull to connect the saucer section to it and place a sensor dish in the front of the hull. The bridge could be located on top of the saucer section with a view screen. Then have perhaps Tim Cook's office chair in the middle of the bridge for him to conduct tactical meetings with this staff.
I had to laugh at that. I guess they got tired of amassing a giant pile of cash. Or, perhaps, they want to make the world's largest sandbox.
I'm sure that is a work in progress. The goal is for the new campus at the center of operations. One line that I have heard is "If you work The Loop you are moving to the new campus." The vacuum in the The Loop is filled by staff working elsewhere along Da Anza. I'm sure there will be exceptions. They are keeping The Loop as Apple owns it instead of renting and to preserve Steve Jobs working spaces.
I have been around big moves like this with other companies. Typical moving transitions occur top-down with executives and executive support staff moving in first working the place and approving final locations. Then the hierarchy is rolled in 'till anyone without a manager responsibility moves in. From what I have been told, it is not going to be a blitz with everyone rushing there all at once (that is common in central Europe and Japan) but it will take months.

A traditional Apple Store will be across the street at Pruneridge and Tantau Ave. They haven't started building it yet but the old buildings have been knocked down.
I don't know about space SHIP... but it does look like a space STATION ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_torus# )
google: flying saucer

Does anyone know how many workers there are on that site on any given day? These videos I must assume are done after working hours because there is so little going on. It's incredible to watch how this building takes shape so quickly. When you think about every nut and bolt and weld that needs to take place it's impressive.

Looks like a really neat building.
I wonder how much it will cost per day to keep it running. Can't imagine the type of pressure it will add to the company's need to grow to maintain it.
