Quite interesting modeling topic!

I had a similiar problem a couple of days ago to find a way to
distribute spheres on a large sphere, equally spaced and thought
to use a subdivided geodesic dome for this task. Later i figured
out that there's a script to takle circles distribution on a sphere.

Now i wonder if you, since you have programing skills, or someone
else has already tried this interesting problem as script for MoI,
like the one for Rhino.
