I think they have a big long extension cord leading to the nearest coal burning powerplant.

Mock is the operative word - go live in the tropics and pretend is like living on Venus etc - liberal non-think

and a hydroponic system for growing veggies

I hope they also have a hydroponic system for growing hay and alfalfa and grain to feed the livestock for milk and cheese, if not eggs, chicken and beef, for protein. Or are they going to simulate flying frozen steaks to the moon.

I love Switzerland. Where they have to come up with super creative ideas just to have any problems. Grüezi wohl! Hop! Hop! Schwiiiz!

Another one:

Vivian: Oh, isn't Elaine fantastic?

George: Yes she is. It's a pity we won't be seeing much more of her.

Vivian: Really, why?

George: Oh, you haven't heard, she's going to live with her grandparents in Redding Pennsylvania.

Vivian: Her grandparent passed away five years ago.

George: Yes they did. I was covering. Elaine has been deported back to Scotland.

Vivian: She's American citizen, I have seen her passport.

George: All right, no more lies. Elaine is been chosen to represent the Upper West Side in the next Biosphere project.

Vivian: I haven't heard anything about another Biosphere.

George: That's because it's underwater.

Vivian: This is insane.

George: Is it?

Vivian: Yes it it.

George: Well, it's all for charity, so what's the difference.

(Now, enough of that. Let's see that pastrami).

That’s cold, man. Ice cold.

Kramer had a can of Beefaroni for biosphere 3! Or maybe a can of tuna.

Don’t feed the Beefaroni to the horse, though.

haven’t they done similar experiments already, with people in confined places for extended periods?

Don’t we already have some real world examples of life in such conditions, such as researchers who winter over in Antarctica and are confined there?

Antarctica would actually be a fair trial. You’re weeks away from logistical support, bitterly cold, but you can breathe in an emergency. You’d need to be in good health to go.

But what happens when Global Warming melts the glacier.
