I think that the article is missing the point of what it was about and what was learned from it, maybe 'Steve Bannon' isn't what was needed.
A better primer on the BBC news website:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/magazine-41151951/building-a-new-world-inside-a-giant-greenhouse https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/magazine-41151951/building-a-n...
An interview with one of the participants, clearly she learned a new perspective concerning her place in the world.
Originally it was told by the media as a project for a prototype space colony. There are those with ambitions to get humans living on Mars and beyond, but it is not going to be as easy as sci-fi ideas of the 1950's would lead us to believe.
I would say Biosphere-2 was actually a really good experiment even though it is mocked for the lack of any good science. We learn a lot through follies, the delusions of grandeur that others have and how naive we once were.
What I would like to see is some original press from 1991 with the likes of BBC's Tomorrow's World or Horizon presenting the thing seriously, particularly when it comes to 'Space Colony'.
