It gets bent and it goes in a curved trajectory." and it will no longer move in a straight line. "Gravity will attract an object if it's moving in a straight line. "It is a straight line from our perspective here," he said of the bird's path. The set-up served as an example of a trajectory, which as Pettit said in the video is important for astronauts trying to plan their path when they launch on a rocket to the space station. Woo hoo! Look at that! Whoa, all the way down." "Launching Red Bird into space," Pettit said. Using a bungee cord that he spread across a hatchway, Pettit made a makeshift slingshot like the type used to launch the birds flying in the game. "Don't ask me how I got the eggs on space station," Pettit said.

He also released two real eggs to float aboard the station. "It's a good thing I decided to be a scientist and an engineer instead of an artist 'cause I'd. "I'm not very good at art," admitted Pettit in the video.

The Angry Birds then chase the claw into a wormhole and find themselves floating in a strange galaxy surrounded by space pigs.įor his real-life take on the game, Pettit made a makeshift pig by drawing a face on a green balloon. In the Angry Birds Space game, a giant claw kidnaps the birds' eggs. For his physics demo, he borrowed a small red Angry Bird stuffed toy that some of his crewmates had brought to the station last year. I just can't hate a game with a Parasol Stars themed bonus stage it seems.Pettit is currently serving as a flight engineer on board the International Space Station (ISS) about 240 nautical miles above the surface of the Earth. Angry Birds gets my shiny star award for not being crap.
#ANGRY BIRDS SPACE EGG PLUS#
Plus even though I'm finding it impossible to earn three stars on anything anymore, I have been making steady progress through the levels without a ridiculous number of retries, and. But it's so well presented and designed that I can kinda forgive it, as all the frustrations are in the puzzles, not the interface.
#ANGRY BIRDS SPACE EGG TRIAL#
You know, I had a feeling that Angry Birds Space would be a incredibly shallow puzzle game based around lucky shots and trial and error rather than thinking your way through a problem, and it turns out I was absolutely right! Well, about the luck part anyway, the game's actually a bit more complex than I'd expected. Ah fuck it, this seems as good a place as any to stop playing. I guess what I'm meant to do here is detonate an egg at the right moment as it's arcing over this pyramid of bricks to send fragments shooting up into the pigs hiding up there in bubbles just out of gravity's reach, but I can never quite manage to get the bricks to scatter into the right directions. These birds are total psychopaths, seriously. Yes we have found the kidnapped unborn babies at last and now we can use them against our sworn enemies. Eggs with remote triggered bombs in them.
#ANGRY BIRDS SPACE EGG FULL#
I eventually got a full page of 3 star levels and finally managed to unlocked a bonus level! It's just like all the other levels, except this time I'm firing off.
