Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
This ’space-craft like’ building was designed to house ‘Space Centre‘, an interactive space exhibition. The centre closed last September, despite being open for less than a year.
You can also see what is apparently a “Ariane 44LP Orbital launch vehicle” to the West of the building, just beside its boosters.

The weirdest and best of Google Earth is now available in the…
Actually, its not a space shuttle replica, but an Ariane 44LP – see http://www.flickr.com/photos/82365423@N00/616516 or http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_%28Rakete%29
I can’t believe it closed after only a few months. What a waste!
In contrast, the Space Centre in Leicester has been a great success (surprisingly for a Millennium project). It’d be worth seeing from the air, if they ever post high-resolution photos for Leicester… For now, see here.
Is this another Taillibert?
It looks like Triforce in Zelda’s game
This is not only a Ariane 44LP replica but a free-fall tower, makes a lot of fun. We went there last August, just 2 weeks before it closed.
It´s still closed and I don´t know if it will be opened again…. it´s a 500 Million euro grave…
But the cinema (called Cinespace) is still opened and it´s one of the best in Bremen. If you go there at 10 o’clock in the evening you´ll be the only person there… perfect for a date
