"Closed-system life support?
"Maybe a "Biosphere X" to test it out, but this time don't obsess about having a
rain forest AND a desert AND a prairie AND an ocean...

"Just have what you need to keep the system going, people and all. Heck, make it
into a reality show and you can turn a profit whether it works the first time or
not. Maybe test robots too, or not."

Had a similar thought. A CLSS could be set up for TV show. It would be a
little more like Survivor. Just more mundane. Very.

Adding to the list of things to do, you could have it all in oneslow rotating
torus structure equivilent to a few railcars in volume.The containers could
pivot which would allow for slight variations in speed.As long as you don't
have too high an rpm (g force), you could also see tolerance to working in
spinning structure. Not exactly comparable to rotating in space...Just adding
to your thoughts.
