I toured that place once - Bass was a scientific HERO for funding that- it was amazing.
The ‘tards he got to run it, however, were something else.
The 8 lunatics who put themselves inside it for a year drove each other crazy, and according to the tour guide we talked to, they never speak to each other these days.
They should have kept it up after the first crew went in.
If they went nuts after 3 months they should have stopped, rebooted, and started again with a new crew.
And kept doing it until they learned things.
Now it is just being used as a giant greenhouse for experiments- but it was AMAZING thing to see, and I wish Bass was more renowned for his effort.
Thank you for the info!
