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.

The question is, do you want to join us?

Ever yearned to journey to the stars? You can learn how to become a Virgle Pioneer, test your Pioneering potential, or join the Mission Control community that will help develop the 100 Year Plan we've outlined here.































April Fools.

Well seeing as how the April Fools part was way at the bottom of the post that you would have to scroll down to see it, and you'd have to be a total moron to even slightly think this was real, I don't feel too bad about it.

Now where's my three-boobed girl?

April Fool's joke or not, I'm very freaked out by the idea of us being fleshy interplanetary mechanized locusts.

We're already killing this planet, we should probably die with it rather than moving on to a new host to devour. Otherwise we're going to end up like the fucking Borg or something.

You're worried we're going to destroy the environment of a planet like Mars?

Whoa.

I'm not worried about Mars, just the beginning of a disturbing trend in our evolution. Where would we go after Mars? And after that? And so on. If we aren't smart enough to live in a sustainable way we should probably just fuck off.

Mars? But we haven't even finished raping and pillaging the oceans yet. I'm tired of this half-assing, let's get our priorities straight, humanity.

Also, the moon's been hanging out in our sky for far, far too long. We need to get back up there and show it who wears the pants in this solar system.

I've always said our species could use a snazzy catch phrase.
