That was one of the most unexpectedly crazy Wikipedia articles I've ever read. The level of intrigue seems completely out of proportion with what the project is. Steve Bannon (yes, that Steve Bannon) makes an appearance, a hostile takeover occurs, Federal Marshals and local police are called in on 2 separate occasions, former employees sabotage the site, experiments go awry, accusations of research fraud are constantly thrown around. It sounds like the plot of a TV show about a research project.
The drama starts in the Group dynamics section of the article amd continues to the end: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2#Group_dynamics:_psychology,_conflict,_and_cooperation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2#Group_dynamics:_ps...
- starpilot 6y agoThe documentary Spaceship Earth on Hulu is about all of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceship_Earth_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceship_Earth_(film). Really worth watching.
- ndesaulniers 6y agoI think there's an allusion to this in Netflix's Space Force?
- bredren 6y agoThere is, this episode was so unfunny we stopped watching the series. I don’t know how you can have that much talent in a potentially funny space and blow it that bad.
- michaelcampbell 6y agoI wanted to like it, but ... just couldn't.
- ndesaulniers 6y agoYeah, I couldn't finish it. Lost interest after the monkey episode. Wisecrack did a criticism video on YouTube that I thought had some fair points: https://youtu.be/49v6m7jQPaQ https://youtu.be/49v6m7jQPaQ
