    "Spaceship" Apple Campus Comes to Cupertino

    This segment is about the gleaming Apple building that is going to touch down in an area of Cupertino currently filled with drab office buildings and strip malls. We learn about the architect, (Sir) Norman Foster, and how locals feel about the pending arrival of the vast glass, concrete and metal ring already dubbed the ”spaceship.”
