The question is, do you want to join us?
Ever yearned to journey to the stars? You can learn how to become a Virgle Pioneer, test your Pioneering potential, or join the Mission Control community that will help develop the 100 Year Plan we’ve outlined here.
This is the most complex Fools Day Hoax we’ve seen today, but we’ll be on the lookout for more and keep you posted.
