Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetime

... 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...

It's a wonderful effort, with many links to explore. Of course it helps to know that Branson, Page and Brin really do want to go to Mars ...

For example, I wouldn't be surprised if the site of the colony were used one day.
