This is revisionism. It failed weeks in and was constantly failing the rest of the time it was running.

- marcosdumay 2y agoYes, they failed every single one of their objectives, within weeks. They failed the psychological ones even harder than the others. (Whoever keeps pushing at a colony on Mars, should look at those later ones.) But the GP also has a good point. They failed due to overambition more than to lack of results.
- SV_BubbleTime 2y agoIs starting a colony experiment 200m deep not overambition?
- marcosdumay 2y agoGetting people to live a month in a well-known but extremely harsh environment? There's actually way fewer things that could go wrong than on the Biosphere experiment. Time exponentiates every failure mode, shorter times fix lots of things. It may still be overambitious, we will only know after they try, but it's less ambitious than the other one.
