It's bourgeois decadence, but i like the "larger than life" design/construction projects. A light up sphere is neat by it's own merits

I like these megaprojects from the technical problem solving side of things. It's fun to learn that they had to develop new ways of doing things to meet unique constraints, which might be useful later. A bit like the space program

yeah and it should have been an escape room instead with traps and you only go in with people you've never met
