#2Wouldn't be the first space physics game, but cool nonetheless.

#3I'm guessing to celebrate they'll be releasing another weather balloon into space to drop angry birds paraphernalia.

#5NASA's putting quite a bit of effort into educating the public, or at least, more than they were a few years ago. I'm hoping things like this and the Lego sets they built will get us interested in space again.

#6The physics system looks a lot like that of Mario Galaxy, where each planet has its own localized gravity field of constant magnitude that just ends abruptly at a specific altitude. Although here the gravity fields can overlap.

Surely they paid for it? If so, is the the first use of private advertising on the ISS?

It seems like that would be really, really expensive unless NASA actually wanted to help them out. I think it's mutually beneficial NASA is trying to reach a younger generation as they struggle to stay relevant given that they don't even have a human launch platform ATM.

#9Have you noticed that scientific organisations participating in the ISS project are promoting a game in which sounds in audible in vacuum? Apparently the heritage of Star Wars et al. is still preventing the industry from marketing space-based games not making physicists laugh. Surely, it won't change soon.

My guess is NASA is trying to reach younger crowds & they did this as joint marketing campaign. More kids get excited about NASA & space while Rovio gets even more press and coverage for their new game. Everybody wins.
