The world's biggest building by volume, the Boeing airplane plant in Washington state, is so huge that Disneyland could fit inside. When it was first built, rain clouds formed near the ceilings! Since 1990, Herbert Langerman of Wilmington, De., has walked more than 25,000 miles -- once around the Earth -- on a half-mile track in the city's Bonsall Park! During the 2012 Formula 1 German Grand Prix, the McLaren team changed all four tires on driver Jenson Button's car in just 2.3 seconds!

NASA pulled that photo and all related photos of it. From what I understand they do not know what is was and it was not ever meant to be seen by the public. It showing up on the NASA website was a mistake. I have been following this on a few forums.
