Project Virgle: Google and Virgin to colonize Mars
Today, Virgin founder Richard Branson and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin announced the ultimate dream of humanity, to colonize Mars. Termed as Project Virgle and starting in 2014, it will be the first permanent human colony on Mars.
Google has details here, including FAQ and Open Source Planet Initiative.
Interested candidates have to fill in a questionnaire. You need to be a martian-in-disguise to clear this form, unless the response will be:
Well, you’re distressingly normal and could conceivably adjust to life as a deep space pioneer, though we recommend instead that you leave the Mars missions to the serious whack jobs who scored over 130 and instead finish year 3 of law school, tuck your toddler into bed, design Web 2.0 applications, run for Congress or do whatever other normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road thing you’re currently doing with your normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road life.
For all those excited souls out there, consider this another leap in the right direction by Google after last year’s announcement of the TISP.
