Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Video-game launches can be gritty (I've seen one at Battersea Power Station as holograms of helicopters circled, and visited a former nuclear bunker under Moscow for another).
They can be glamorous – well, sort of (the Playboy Mansion isn't my idea of high-end luxe. Too many dead-eyed Bunnies, but my fellow games hacks seemed impressed).
Now developer Rovio has raised the game – its most recent reveal is out of this world. The creator of the cosmically successful Angry Birds unveiled its latest release yesterday – Angry Birds Space (available now costing from 69p) – and showed off its new in-game physics on the International Space Station (watch the video here: http://goo.gl/cK4ic).
Rovio had a Nasa scientist show off the zero-gravity elements of Angry Bird Space in zero gravity.
Cool, right?
Scary, though – where will games launches go next? Mars? Gulp...
