Well no news article just me talking about it this time

I noticed last night on youtube Richard Branson made a video about virgle (which stands for virgin and google) and in the video he talks about getting people to do video comments 2 minutes long who want to apply to go live on mars.
heres the video (watch it :P)

then I noticed google had a page about it
http://www.google.com/virgle/ (have a read of that :P)

then if you go to faq and click the last one...it takes you to this link
