Of all the private space companies, I think “Virgin Galactic” has the best name. Ga-lactic. And this building rocks.

EPCOT Energy 1966: A look at the utilities in the City of Tomorrow
This rare 1966 booklet cover shows us how extensively Walt had conceptualized and planned out EPCOT City in it’s formative years, with this rendering of the actual electrical plant (and company!) that would help power the community.
While not as grand as a later building dedicated to Energy that would reside in a totally different EPCOT, this building exhibits a nice 60’s vibe, and subtle space age aesthetics.
(Apologies for the quality of the photo, it’s a photo of a photo taken at Destination D. )
