New Angry Birds game blasts off March 22, will team with NASA, Orlando Sentinel
“[Andrew] Stalbow also mentioned that National Geographic and NASA have signed on as launch partners. “Science and education are very important to us, and we’re very excited to have NASA and National Geographic as launch partners on Angry Birds Space,” he said. Unfortunately, the Yahoo story was short on details about the nature of the collaboration and neither Rovio nor NASA responded to a Los Angeles Times request for comment Monday morning.”
Keith’s note: New Trailer. Yea, this video nails it. NASA would do it this way. Meanwhile, I wonder if the angry birds will make those horrid noises in the vacuum of space … Oh well – it will certainly be more interesting than those banal PAO people talking over boring ISS video …

    Bird… is the word.

    Well this certainly will reach the 4 to 22 demographic.

    Uh…the last Soyuz crew launch live vid  I watched showed a stuffed red Angry Bird about the size of a baseball tethered on a cord in the cockpit alongside the cosmonauts,. When it began ” flying”  ( floating) the crew knew they had reached orbit and Zero G.   A flawless piece of Russian space engineering thus demonstrated.

    Been there, done that…..  tweet tweet  squawk  squawk
