NASA collaborates with the Angry Birds Space game to teach physics, gravity and astronomy to the whole family

When last year the Angry Birds Rio were launched, an agreement of the Angry Birds franchise with the Blue Sky production company, we installed the game on the iPad and played almost a year with the levels that were sent to us in successive updates. So when they recently put up for sale Angry Birds Space we don't think about it and we bought it.

The first surprise was to see a drawing of the International Space Station with the image of NASA. The second was to see that gravity affected, and much, what these chickens do when you throw them against pigs steals eggs. The details of the game I leave to our teammates Extra life They have analyzed it with care and passion. In this article we are going to refer to the alliance with NASA and the objective of dissemination of physics and gravity among children.

In the video below, NASA engineer Don Pettit tells, while circling the Earth aboard the International Space Station How physics works in space. This shows how the path is followed by an Angry Bird in microgravity conditions using a catapult like the ones in the game. I love it when he says let's not ask how the eggs have arrived at the Space Station.

It seems that this alliance is a clue as to where future Angry Birds developments will go. It is likely that if the partners contribute experiences that enrich and make the game more attractive, those of Rovio, who design the game, are sure to aim for everyone to win.

For now Congratulations to Rovio and NASA for this initiative. It has many ingredients to be a success among children and can also lift many passions for space while playing.
