Angry Birds Space launches into app orbit

Wasters of time everywhere, rejoice: Angry Birds Space, a brand-new version of the popular mobile game from Rovio, launched Thursday (March 22).

Check out the demo from NASA:



The game includes 60 levels and some pretty stellar graphics -- particularly in the HD version for iPads.
