Pardon me if this is not the correct forum, but I am curious as
to the Biosphere III experiment that was taking place in Arizona.

Biosphere I is Earth.  

Biosphere II is the shrimp/algae aquarium designed by NASA - about
the size of a volleyball. 

Biosphere III, as I remember it, is a sealed habitat covering several
acres of land with several different environmental areas (rain forest,
savanah, desert, etc) and representative life forms for each
environment.  It is inhabited by four couples, all scientists and was
supposed to run for five years.  The only things which were to enter
the habitat were sunlight and electrical power (for the computers, etc).

Does anyone have any pointers to a report on this?  I think the five
year period is substantially up.  

Please send e-mail as to references (either in literature or other
discussion groups) and I'll post a summary if there's enough information.

Thanks in advance.
