In the conclusion of our series on Biosphere two, we meet the eight people who lived inside the biosphere for two years during "mission one" and look at the absurd (and completely avoidable) struggles they faced inside, money-man Ed Bass realizes John Allen might not know what he's talking about, and Steve Bannon LARPs as a Navy SEAL.

Ep 03 Biosphere Two Part I—A Johnny Dolphin Production
Tuesday May 04, 2021
Tuesday May 04, 2021
We begin our dive into the truly bizarre story of Biosphere 2, a three-acre mini-Earth in which eight theater nerds sealed themselves for two years in the early 90's. It didn't go great. While you may have heard of Biosphere 2, it's a solid bet that you've only heard one side of the story.
In part one we look at the man behind Biosphere 2, the so-called genius John Allen (also known by his pen-name as Johnny Dolphin), his commune Synergia Ranch, and how they song-and-danced their way into the hundreds of millions of dollars they used to build the Biosphere. Strap in, folks, this one gets silly.
