A major self-sustaining colony on Mars will probably take 50-100 years, at which point Google as well as its current jurisdiction of registration (Delaware) will likely both be history.

Self-sustaining? I think that's far enough out that is basically pointless to speculate a deadline. It would require too many breakthroughs.
