ESA Köln (KLN_25) - a photo on Flickriver

ESA Köln (KLN_25)

KLN_25 [50 points]
Better than this was almost not possible. KLN_25 as seen through wireglass is located above a water basin in which a mock-up of the ISS space station is floating to imitate the lack of gravity for the aspirant astronauts. This is called the Neutral Buoyancy Facility.

Together with about 30 other space invader fans I visited the three of the space invaders on the site of ESA in Köln which are normally hidden away from the public. A visit was organized by V ("JOETHECRAB" on FlashInvaders) and about 20 of space invader fans from France, Belgium and the Netherlands (including yours truly) travelled to Germany to see, capture and flashinvader the three space invaders on the strictly guarded and normalitarian inaccessible terrain of ESA.
As we speak (June 2017) the city of Cologne (including the ones on the ESA site) counts 27 space invaders, invaded in 3 waves and in total 670 points. The first waves took place in the year 2007 and the last wave was in 2015 and contains the 3 space invaders on the site of ESA (in total 250 points on the ESA site).
