An image taken from inside a vehicle driving on the NASA Causeway bridge over the Indian River. On the horizon are clouds and beneath them north Merritt Island, where Kennedy Space Center is located. Because of the vast scale and distance, very big buildings such as the Vehicle Assembly Building and the SpaceX Gigabay appear very small on the horizon.
