    It’s silly to see this experiment as a failure. Yes they didn’t make a self-sustaining ecosystem first try. Of course they didn’t, the complexity of that is absolutely mind-boggling.

      Even though it failed, it probably highlighted how fragile the balance for sustainable life is, like no other experiment could have.
