Remember how Biosphere 2 went so badly that the crew nearly starved to death, but no one bothered doing a Biosphere 3? That might be a good step before attempting long-term Moon or Mars missions.
Yeah, I think of that every time somebody starts talking about fallout shelters, space stations or bases on the moon or Mars. It’s definitely not a solved problem.
That’s the thing about centralized planning-you think everything’s possible if you just throw more slaves at the problem. And modern autocrats (musk, bezos, bin-salman) don’t seem to understand that this just isn’t true.
Edita;: they’re trying to do new kinds of things, rather than ‘big building’, and it just doesn’t work for that. You need thought for that.
That was the biosphere 2 experiment. Turns out it’s very difficult to sustain the plants without the rest of the planet.

Keep trying until it works?
What are you, a mockery of real humans?

No, we just need more money and it’ll be fine.

Also, have you seen how HUGE the thing was?
3.14 acres of enclosed space, and still barely enough to support a crew of eight people. I think OP is going to need a bigger bag of plants.
