In 1991, 8 people were sent into a giant hermetically sealed glass building in the middle of the Arizona Desert as part of an elaborate, ground breaking science project. That project was officially called 'Biosphere 2' - and what happened there has recently been made into a feature length documentary called Spaceship Earth.

Dr Mark Nelson joins us for Episode 4 of the DSMNTL Ideas podcast, one of the original Biospherians from the first sealed entry. His story is one of genuine love for his fellow scientists, the project and more importantly, planet earth itself. We had a fantastic discussion about the sometimes controversial experiment, where we talk in depth about how their findings & experiences can help us lead a better life today in the outside world.

As Mark says in the episode, consider this as an 'Hors d'ouevre' - if you want to go deeper into the experiment check out his latest book which details Biosphere 2 at great length, Life Under Glass - available online now.
