Biosphere 2, Oracle, failures of hubris men
Toured the 3.14 acres of Biosphere 2 in 2001 and discussed the top human failures of this experiment: forgetting wind in the rainforest (trees with no stress collapse under its own height and weight), concrete released carbon dioxide in a sealed environment (causing the co2 levels to be to high, pressuring the biologist in charge of the desert to increase rainfall levels that killed the desert), and had turn on the giant lung to breath fresh air in to the building.
