After taking over the world - in the form of an extremely popular multi-platform game, followed by toys and accessories, even baby clothes - Angry Birds will venture where no dissatisfied feathered creature has gone before: into space.
An Angry Birds plush toy, as well as two Apple iPads, will be sent to the International Space Station with two upcoming Russian space launches.
The iPads will be sent with the next unmanned resupply flight later this month. The toy doll of the red bird from the popular game will be sent with three crew members, which are due to fly to the ISS next month.
The cosmonauts will use the iPads for entertainment purposes, but the plush toy will actually have a mission - it will signal the escape from the clutches of Earth's gravity field when it starts to float.
