Rovio’s teaser past week of the newest Angry Birds release to be known as Angry Birds: Space has been given a PR boost by none other than NASA and National Geographic, Slash Gear reports.

In an interview with Yahoo Games, Rovio North America general manager had a bit more information on the game, especially in regards to what the game will hold for gameplay.

As Andrew Stalbow said on the development of this Space release: “Science and education are very important to us, and we’re very excited to have NASA and National Geographic as launch partners on Angry Birds Space.”

This idea can lead to more awareness of the NASA space program and National Geographic’s efforts to push space travel and exploration as well.
