We've seen bits and pieces of Apple's Spaceship, but nothing has provided a sense of scale quite like this drone footage.
YouTuber Duncan Sinfield captured this 4K footage at 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 1 with a DJI Inspire 1 drone. Substantial progress has been made on Apple's Campus 2 since the first drone footage of its construction emerged in August of 2014.
The Spaceship -- Apple's new campus, located a mile away from its current Cupertino, California, headquarters -- is a circular building measuring 2.8-million-square-feet with a green space in the middle. That 2.8-million-square-foot figure is impressive on paper, but seeing the building towering above work trucks and construction equipment in the video above helps makes sense of the number.
Despite its massive size, the Spaceship is designed to foster collaboration, according to Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing. "[T]his is going to be the most incredible collaborative space that's been created," Schiller boldly proclaimed to Mashable's Lance Ulanoff.
Ground was broken on Campus 2 in 2012, with a planned completion in 2017.

Apple is also reportedly getting another -- albeit much smaller, at a paltry 777,100 square-feet -- spaceship-like campus in nearby Sunnyvale, Calif.
Hey, when you've got $205.7 billion in cash -- more than any company on the planet -- you've got to spend it on something.
