First of all, this certainly sounds like an interesting idea, regardless of whether or not it comes to fruition.
However, I don't know him personally, but everything I've ever read that was written by Peter Thiel had a really obnoxious tone. Assuming he's like that in real life (and it's possible he isn't), I can't imagine people wanting to be stuck on a boat with him. I'm dead serious. If he's just backing the project financially, I could really see it working. But if he's making appearances, his writing really makes him sound like the most arrogant SOB you could ever meet. I really could see this project failing if one too many stressed out entrepreneurs living in close quarters got into a yelling match with him.
