Google and Virgin going to Mars
Google and Virgin have just announced the biggest project in their history: Project Virgle, which intends to build the first human settlement on Mars.
Google founders Larry and Sergey describe the project.
That's right, announced just today on April 1st. Ahem.
P.S. My favorite part of the pitch:
Sure, the work will be hard, the broadband rates low, the commodes decidedly open source, and yes, your life might be extinguished in a fiery instant of catastrophic technological malfunction. But your enriched descendants will appreciate your sacrifice, which should render worthwhile your choice to spend the rest of your (perhaps radically foreshortened) life in deprivation and uncertainty.
