On January 14, 2016 (or January 14, 3302 depending on your time frame), a group of over 500 Elite: Dangerous pilots will embark on a journey across the galaxy. Probably the largest exploration mission ever in a virtual space.
Obviously the Virtual Geographic Society cannot resist something like this. I will be documenting the journey here.
Here is the ship we will be taking across the galaxy; the Asp Explorer Rocinante!
