“They had this horizontal frame laying on the ground, with all these plywood rings, and all this aluminum. It was a crude way to build it, but it was built very quickly.” - Bob Gurr

All of Tomorrowland was built extremely rapidly, as Walt Disney had almost thrown in the towel on the whole land in January of 1955, His staff had convinced him that it simply couldn’t be done in time. But he then reversed his decision to have it open later, saying, “We’ll open the whole park. Do the best you can with Tomorrowland, and we’ll fix it up after we open.” They succeeded in opening the land with the rest of the park just 6 months later, even though it was not exactly its complete and finished version, and had errors in construction like the aluminum on the TWA Moonliner.

Not everything you do is going to be perfect. Sometimes you have to just try, even if it means failing a little bit along the way, to keep moving forward. 🚀
