How do we access the previous versions of Google caches?

Question

How do we access the "earlier caches" of Google?

For example, the website http://www.onemillionpeople.com/ is current down for maintenance.

How do we access the previous versions of that cache?

I don't know if you can access the previous version of a Google cache, but Internet Wayback Machine is your friend.

The following page shows the snapshots of that page in the past. There are 3 snapshots in 2011, latest on May, 3rd.

@Sathya: The link does not work that way (I made it that way when I first wrote my answer, but since clicking fails, I changed it). I'm rolling back. BTW, I'm on Firefox. – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Oct 11 '11 at 9:06
huh, go figure, doesn't work here either, my apologies - I should've checked before editing. – Sathyajith Bhat♦ Oct 11 '11 at 9:11
@Sathya: No problem. I think it fails because of the asterisk somehow... – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Oct 11 '11 at 9:14
Yeah, the asterisk gets URL-encoded during the Markdown-to-HTML conversion, but the wayback machine doesn't seem to URL-decode it – Sathyajith Bhat♦ Oct 11 '11 at 9:28
