That's because they were looking out the other side of the craft at all the water on Jupiter's moons.

I know what you're asking . . . . . . . . . . . .WHAT IS IT?

It is called The Corphibian, a prototype that was built for GM by two of it's engineers to explore a market that only had a single competitor . . . the Amphicar. Yes - the Corphibian is designed to work on land and water. Unfortunately GM felt it would be too expensive to build and sell and abandon the project. More photos and the backstory at this link:

Longaberger Basket Headquarters, Newark, Ohio

The weird looking basket is actually a seven-story office building that can hold up to 500 people. It is owned by Longaberger which was trying to sell it in August for $5 million after failing to find someone willing to pay $7.5 million for the 180,000-square-foot structure, according to Business Insider. It was finally sold in January for $1.2 million.
