April Fools update or real initiative? 
Larry Page and Sergey Brin on Project Virgle. The fact that neither of them can keep a straight face is a dead give-away. Sign up for the Virgle Project here if you believe it will last beyond noon today.
And, here is Richard Branson talking it up (I wonder if Richard has ever been RickRolled?).

Even my hip hop blog Highbrid Nation had to report on project Virgle. If it is indeed real, then it is huge and is major in the area of space exploration. However I fear that it is indeed and elaborate April Fool's Day hoax. I guess we'll know for sure if announcements continue after today. Personally I'd love to see the two companies team up considering what they already have done with the Lunar X Prize and Virgin Galactic.
