This book has literally been sitting on my tbr for over a decade since I was working on closed ecological systems and learned of Biosphere 2. It actually came with me as I intended to read it before I visited Biosphere 2 in the flesh! I finished it afterwards after I experienced the awe of Biosphere 2 in person and walked on the tour. This is a solid book, I do wish they had even more photos as somethings just don't translate via the written word and need to be seen to be believed!

Had ik mijn school maar afgemaakt.

Interesting idea to have a "dry run" for a self-sustaining biosphere that could be used to colonize other planets. It was definitely ambitious. The book definitely had a positive spin on what had to have been very difficult experiences, and there are conflicting accounts out there, but I liked the book overall.
