Abstract
Launching earlier this year, the film Spaceship Earth introduced a new generation of people to the bold and daring experiment called Biosphere 2. The project kicked off over 30 years ago with the construction of an entirely enclosed ecosystem in the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona. The first eight person crew, known as biospherians, were ’sealed in’ for two years in the experimental facility. Mark Nelson, a member of this first closure crew, reflects here on the role of water in Biosphere 2, how it was recycled, and what they learnt from the experience.
