Astronauts will enjoy some down time with Apple's tablet
Many of us may dream of what it would be like to visit space, or even spend a night in a hotel room orbiting earth, but passing the time once you're actually there may have never crossed your mind. It appears that even astronauts get a wee bit bored every now and again, and to help keep them busy, the crew of the International Space Station will soon take delivery of the planet's most popular tablet ? Apple's iPad.
On October 30, the Russian space program will launch a resupply vehicle towards the ISS to deliver some much needed supplies, as well as a pair of iPad tablets. The new slates will be used strictly for entertainment purposes, and they will join other Apple products already on board, such as a number of iPods and an iPhone.
While we have to imagine there will be plenty of Angry Birds played during slow evenings aboard the complex, a manned flight to the station on November 14 will add even more avian excitement. A trio of Russian cosmonauts will carry an Angry Birds plush toy along with them on their ride skyward, using it as a zero-gravity indicator. We can only pray that Birds developer Rovio takes a cue and lets us get in on the interstellar fun.
