The problem was science for cash and flash. Starting with the 2 year run was always doomed. You build up. We didn’t send people to the moon until we got good at the whole orbit thing.
Is that the one where they locked a bunch of peaceful, free, fun-loving liberals in a box and let them age until they all went power-mad and turned on each other? Kinda like the House of Representatives?
Without the intervention of extra food and oxygen, the first group would have died.
This really builds a case against what sci-fi foresees as colony ships on centuries long expeditions to other hopefully, habitable planets.

LOL! For the love of God, stop the experiment, man!
Wild plants are low in calories and nutrients as well as being difficult to harvest. That is why we have been tinkering with them since agriculture started.
And just think: the guy from Noo Joisey who wants to say he’s the Senator who represents the State of Arizona is the main man in one of Biosphere’s follow on companies, along with the founder of that company who was one of the lab rats in the publicity stunt pretending to be “science” experiment.
Beyond Alien.
Sounds like Seattle.
Not really. It just means walk before you try to run. It can be done, but you need to experiment with it, close the system for a month without people and see what happens. Then applye some fixes and try again. Add people when it goes well enugh without. Tweak, adjust, learn. They should have done at least a dozen short runs before trying for 2 years.
Just the fact that the same number of people came out as went in is a triumph,
Given the age distribution of the perps, shouldn’t more peeps have emerged?
The 'Biodome' movie with Pauly Shore and one of the Baldwins was somewhat funny in a ridiculous way but missed such an opportunity to be as good as Galaxy Quest.
I view “hippies” as being anti-govenment, freedom embracers interested in being as self sufficient as possible. Hardly Antifa fascists.
That's why we feed them to steers to make beef
At one point in time or another, Steve Bannon (yes, Trump’s Steve Bannon) was involved in the Biosphere project. I don’t recall exactly what he was doing, but I do recall him being somehow tied to this thing.
LOL! Danger, Will Robinson!
This was before I arrived on earth, but it sounds a bit “culty” to me. They are probably all Republicans now.

We use something like this on our Agile projects. Fail forward, learn and do it again.
