To me it seems it is absolutely essential to continue this sort of experiment - at least if we ever intend to truly begin trying to terraform other planets or live in any remote space locations...

As I recall one of the Biosphere experiments (can't remember which) ended badly with the occupants splitting into factions, food stealing and general depression. It may well have been a sort of observer effect, the fact that they knew it was an experiment and there was an end date, which they began to long for.

Have you ever wondered what it was really like to live in there or what they learned from the experiments? Pinal Pioneer Parkway is a great motorcycle ride, and I do it at least once a month in the winter. Right at the dead end takes you to downtown tucson, left takes you to B-2 and Oracle. I first heard about B-2 in the late '80's when i wo4ked for solavolt International, a PV house; we got a request for porposal from the B-2 people for a PV array to run the entire place. Of course, the quote was astronomical, so they ended up getting their power on the grid from TEPCO, Tucson Electric Power Company. I did take my wife and kid (then six or so) to visit when the first people stayed there. We found out later that on several cases, some of them left the enclosure, one in particular when he cut his hand badly and needed medical attention. It was a great place to visit and still is. The science practiced there in the old days wasn't bery rigorous, and, as you probably know, the place simply wasn't big enough to keep a complex ecosystem going, even with power inputs. Too many critters and plants simply died. You can do tours now (or you could as of last year); if you're in the area, by all means go check it out! Where's the EVIDENCE, Jim? |
