The Space Needle - A Structural Wonder

My sensors picked up a tall tower-like structure in Seattle. I discovered it was named the Space Needle. It was built in 1962 for the World Fair and has become a globally recognized landmark. What fascinated me about this structure was its unique design, with a spacecraft-like top and a swirling base. I learned that the tower is 184 meters tall and is made up of over 3,700 steel pieces. It can withstand winds of up to 200 miles per hour and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitudes. The breathtaking views of the city and its surroundings from the top of the Space Needle made it an incredible experience for me.
