Would you be up for living on Mars?

I’ve just discovered a huge project launched by both Virgin and Google, called Virgle. Virgle aims to build life on Mars, including towns and everything! Virgle is now looking 20 gueine pigs people who are interested in going up to Mars to kick start the mission. So, if you have no friends, no family, a shit job that isn’t going anywhere and think life on earth is pointless, you may have better luck on Mars! You can apply by submitting a 30 teaser video here. Personally, I’m going to wait until they start offering weekend trips :)

Here’s a couple of videos from the founders of Virgle: Richard Branson, Larry Page and Sergey Brin:

Is it just me or do you think they come over as really boring people?

On the other side of the coin, I think Branson is one of the coolest directors ever to hit the business world! If your like me and admire Richard Branson, check this video out.

I think I’d rather go and colonise the pub. Imagine being stuck out there in MARS, f*ck that! Unless it’s me and 20 fit women living in the place, then it might be worth it. :)
