  Remember how Biosphere 2 went so badly that the crew nearly starved to death, but no one bothered doing a Biosphere 3? That might be a good step before attempting long-term Moon or Mars missions.

    Yeah, I think of that every time somebody starts talking about fallout shelters, space stations or bases on the moon or Mars. It’s definitely not a solved problem.

    No, we just need more money and it’ll be fine.

    Also, have you seen how HUGE the thing was?

      3.14 acres of enclosed space, and still barely enough to support a crew of eight people. I think OP is going to need a bigger bag of plants.

  Biosphere 2 didn’t fail at sustaining plants.

  It failed because they didn’t account for the concrete structure sucking out oxygen.

      Yeah it turns out nobody has enough money to get around thermodynamics. The only solution is to make linegoup even more.
