versions of this experiment may be used in constructing permanent space stations or for long distance space exploration. If we continue mistreating our present biosphere we may end up living in structures similar to Biosphere 2.In my opinion this experiment proved to be very valuable if we wish to set up colonies on the Moon or other planets. This experiment is the beginning of the necessary information that will be needed to construct a completely self-sufficient biosphere. The amount of time and man hours invested into this project are necessary to make this project worth its while. The amount of money that was spent on this project will be astronomically smaller than the amount of useful information that will be obtained by conducting this experiment. To provide all the information that would be necessary to build a completely self-sufficient biosphere it will be necessary to build other sealed structures similar to Biosphere 2, but correcting mistakes that were made in Biosphere 2, and then correcting those mistakes and so on....
