Expanding Geodesic Dome

The Expanding Geodesic Dome blossoms open from a 1.5-meter cluster to a 6-meter structural dome when pulled open from its base. When deployed it has the same shape and triangulated pattern as Buckminster Fuller's static, geodesic dome, taking this seminal historic structure into the 21st century.

Those triangles should have expandable plastic so it becomes a legit shelter once expanded, w/ the entrance being a crawl space under bottom edge spaces. Then one could take on mountain expeditions and use as a tent that is set up in 60 seconds
