i vaguely remember learning about biosphere 2 in 9th grade biology, but today i learned about the documentary that came out last year!

i didn't realize steve bannon was attached to the project at one point...and also how fascinating the 8 biospherians were as people (they were not scientists!!). hadn't thought about the biosphere as a communal living experiment in the ninth grade but that's the most fascinating part for me now.
