VirgleAs part of Google’s annual April Fool’s prank, this year they’ve arranged (in conjunction with Sir Richard Branson) to offer “Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetimes“. It’s a trip to Mars in an uncomfortable first-generation spacecraft, and the chance to be part of the first human colony on Mars.

Unfortunately, this thing isn’t for real. It’s very much similar to the previous pranks, except it generated even more hype and wasn’t obviously fake.

Take a look at my post on last year’s prank or another previous prank (Google Gulp).
