I was wondering if anybody knows some details about an exciting bio-ecology project called the BIOSPHERE II. I do know that it is basically a huge terrarium built in the Arizona desert in which a group of scientists will be living for two years to see if a self-sufficient ecosystem is feasible in remote areas like Antarctica or a (wow!) space station on aanother planet. It's being privately financed by a philecologist billionaire (the name escapes me) and should commence this september. If anybody knows more about this, please contact me at: J_GREENBLATT@HVRFORD.BITNET
