"Distressingly Normal"

Tue, 2008-04-01 09:54 — Eric

The Virgle Project's application quiz returned these results, despite my (apparently feeble) attempts at humorous responses.

"Well, you're distressingly normal and could conceivably adjust to life as a deep space pioneer, though we recommend instead that you leave the Mars missions to the serious whack jobs who scored over 130 and instead finish year 3 of law school, tuck your toddler into bed, design Web 2.0 applications, run for Congress or do whatever other normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road thing you're currently doing with your normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road life."

Congratulations to Google for a fresh take on April 1.  Hmm.  Maybe I should run for Congress...

Mars?

I see an issue of that being able to 'get off the ground' coming to a halt once they get there when the problem of who's in charge comes up. Engineers and scientists would have to become an integral part of establishing everything that colony would need to survive and knowing the nature of man, I can see it coming to a screeching halt once they can't agree. It would be an amazing thing to be a part of that but, having it corporate run and organized is where the wrench may destroy the project before it even gets off the ground. Money doesn't solve every problem, irregardless of what Mister Branson may think.
