Is the Vessel too close to the retail podium?

No, it just looks that way from some of the pics. Close enough to peer inside perhaps...

If it has been asked and answered before I apologize but what is the reflective material being used here? It looks like highly polished copper, but that can't be right... Does anyone know for sure?

I found this:

"heatherwick studio’s design for hudson yards comprises a geometric lattice of intersecting flights of stairs. the form of the painted steel frame, rises from a 50 foot diameter base and widens at the top to 150 feet, with an underside clad with a polished copper-colored skin."

ahh copper-colored. I wonder if its some sort of thermoplastic like that fake chrome stuff.

This is the sexiest most futuristic piece of public art in the country.
