Google, always one to have a great sense of humor, unveiled their plans to take over another planet (Mars) in our solar system via the Google Virgle project.

It’s a pretty good read with a few “laugh out loud” lines included. I’d suggest taking the Virgle Pioneer Test to see if you’re cut out to handle the rigors of a Martian lifestyle.

If you are a worthy candidate, you can submit a 30 second YouTube video with your application so you can “Explain why you want to live on Mars and you could win a coveted slot on the earliest, most uncomfortable and dangerously untested manned space flights to the new New World - or a fabulous prize!”

I’m sure the viral / humor side of this project will be worth a few minutes of everyone’s viewing time!
