Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetimes
I’ve always been a space and “the final frontier” buff. If I had a shot at taking a one-way trip with Virgin Galactic or NASA (okay, maybe not NASA) to Mars and beyond, I probably would!
So it really got my interstellar antennae up when I read about Virgin and Google’s collaboration on Virgle.
For thousands of years, the human race has spread out across the Earth, scaling mountains and plying the oceans, planting crops and building highways, raising skyscrapers and atmospheric CO2 levels, and observing, with tremendous and unflagging enthusiasm, the Biblical injunction to be fruitful and multiply across our world’s every last nook, cranny and subdivision.
An invitation. Earth has issues, and it’s time humanity got started on a Plan B. So, starting in 2014, Virgin founder Richard Branson and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will be leading hundreds of users on one of the grandest adventures in human history: Project Virgle, the first permanent human colony on Mars.
Okay, on a more serious note: I think this is one of the best April Fool’s Day spoofs I’ve seen. Simple website, but really hilarious!
Could we perhaps do a spoof website as viral marketing campaign?
