Google did it again… April’s fool

Posted on April 2nd, 2008 by Adam in Made me laugh..

For those that missed it, and for those who have never seen them, Google did it again this year. On the 1st of April Google announced its joint venture with Virgin: Project Virgle, the first permanent human colony on Mars.

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.
