"And we got to see all of this in a weightless environment, which is what the Angry Birds Space game is going to be like with gravity fields from planetary bodies," he added. 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. 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.
