It's really nice experiment, but I don't see how that's gonna pay off. You need to sell a hell lots of tomatoes to earn $200 million back.

I'm all up to self sustained, "green" farming in impossible places, but 200M$ for a moderate size greenhouse seems way too much to be something more than an experiment.
