It's part of the Icarus that Zira, Cornelius and Dr. Milo used to escape that ape planet.

I think maybe so. Did they ever have areas of blue color? See the stripes of some sort on the right?
Doesn't look near large enough in diameter to be the Orbiter's LOX/hydrazine external tank - it's almost 28' in diameter !!This message has been edited. Last edited by: aileron, October 08, 2018 11:10 AM

No way to tell how big it is. Looks to me like a lot of concrete around it, so how did it float?

There is a woman standing next to it for reference.

Thought it would be Shuttle parts also. Then wondered why seaweed/barnacles/whatever wouldn't have fastened themselves to shuttle parts by now. Trapper189's idea seems more plausible.
How much tidal shift would it take for this to be so far away from any water if it only 'floated' there?
