What's overlooking the queue line at Mission space?

I know there's a lot of corporate meeting rooms, and lounges in the various EPCOT pavilions, but what is in the glassed in balcony area overlooking the queue line at Mission Space? The rotating space station is on the left, the moon buggy is straight ahead, and against the far wall, second floor behind the moon buggy looks like a lounge. I can see couches, a big screen TV, what appears to be a bar, oh yeah, and people.
Anyone?

Yup, it's the Mission: SPACE VIP lounge for employees of HP. A few photos here: http://www.wdwmagic.com/Other/Corpo...Feb2009-HP-Mission-Space-corporate-lounge.htm

A bit of trivia: that lounge is only a small part of what was supposed to be a huge, multi-level lounge for Compaq/HP. Most of it was actually built, but not finished. What was to have been the main building for it is visible from the Mission: SPACE extended queue. It's a large, square building with heavily tinted windows.

Thanks! I thought it looked a bit extravagant for a CM break room, but who knows with sponsors pulling in and out.
Pictures were very cool as well.

You would be right. The Mission: SPACE break room is in a trailer behind the building--not much to look at, but it serves its purpose.

I wish that was the Space Break Room. That would be AMAZING! But alas, we are still stuck with the trailer behind the building. Ah well...

I never noticed it before.

I had always wondered what the large glass extension of the building was. I always figured it was a themed queue extension. Is it just sitting there half-finished, or have they done to it what they've done to other half-finished, non public areas and cluttered it up?
