A fantastic April Fools Day joke: the Norwegian energy company, Statkraft, announced that they have developed “gamma capturers” that will capture the energy generated when stars explode. This ad was broadcast on Norwegian television on the 1st of April. Take a look:

I also saw the video and website from the Google founders and Richard Branson claiming that they had a 100 year plan to settle Mars. Have a look at this: http://www.google.com/virgle/index.html

    The travel plans for Mars are well on track. However, did you notice one thing? Under the section on Tourist Spots, there is a lot of reverence for the locations of landings of our “space junk” but, nowhere is any thought or consideration given to the indigenous Martians! We earthlings are SO egocentric. Some things never change!
