If its eight pioneering residents wanted pizza, they had to grow their own wheat and milk a goat for cheese. They contended with thinning air, insufficient food, constant work and, worst of all, each other.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Things like this might be more and more important as we look more seriously at exploring the universe outside of our little planet. It&#8217;s neat to see people looking back on this again, and nice to be able to get a little more information on how things actually went during those two years.<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/radio.weblogs.com\/0108026\/2004\/02\/23.html#a2128\" title=\"Biosphere 2 - Oracle, AZ\">The Mediaburn Radio Weblog<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s an interesting article from the Philadelphia Inquirer looking at the early-90&#8217;s Biosphere experiment.
