"I'd been reading about this revolutionary new molecule, called the Buckminster Fullerene, or 'Bucky' for short because it looked like one of Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes. And I loved the idea of him as this nutty designer-inventor-engineer: describing himself as an astronaut from Spaceship 'Earth.'" (Alice Rawsthorn, Marc Newson, London, 1999,
p. 119)
