“This game will help to ensure the next generation of explorers will have that interest in space exploration, as well as the fundamentals of science, technology, engineering and mathematics,” Manning said. Kennedy’s Associate Director Kelvin Manning said Angry Birds Space is an awesome addition to the visitor complex. Visitors can come face-to-face with Angry Birds Space characters, including Super Red, Lazer Bird, Space Bomb and Incredible Terence, as they follow their kidnapped eggs into an intergalactic wormhole, encounter Space Pigs and discover their superpowers. “Angry Birds Space Encounter is both a fun and educational experience.” “Today we’re doing something a little different, but we’re still talking about space,” Moore said.
