The latest update to the game Angry Birds Space is that NASA is helping pigs and bids to explore the Martian terrain of the Red Planet.

Rovio in partnership with NASA released a new Red Planet update for Angry Birds Space. Millions of gamers were introduced to this concept of microgravity in Angry Birds Space that is also linked to a variety of education information.

As quoted by NASA, "Rovio is teaching huge new audiences about NASA's missions to Mars thanks to this collaboration," David Weaver, associate administrator for communications at NASA headquarters in Washington said. "It's a great way to introduce both kids and adults to the wonders of the planet in a fun and entertaining way."

NASA and Rovio have come up with this interesting concept under the Angry Birds Space Agreement. Prior to this when Angry Space birds was released in March, it was Flight Engineer Don Pettit from NASA who demonstrated the physics behind Angry birds, as quoted by abcNEWS.

"We're huge NASA fans, and we were all cheering the Mars Curiosity rover as it touched down," said Peter Vesterbacka, chief marketing officer of Rovio Entertainment. "So, working together on the Mars update was a perfect fit."

On getting access to this game , we can also get an access to NASA web content about its mission on Mars exploration with the links that are being presented in the game.
