Biosphere 2 and other "failed" projects

Postby FourthBase » Thu Nov 24, 2005 9:43 pm

Remember all the attempts to create sustainable, enclosed environments?<br>Remember how the attempts supposedly failed?<br><br>I got a hunch last night that they didn't fail.<br>That the underground bases the elite will escape into should the shit hit the fan are employing biosphere technology. I imagined Cheney addressing the media in the event of a sudden climate catastrophe: "We tried to develop biospheres in case of an emergency like this, but unfortunately the biospheres didn't work...good luck, and God bless America." [Then he turns to his staff and whispers out the side of his mouth: "Get me to the underground biosphere."]<br><br>How many of these unsuccessful and/or abandoned projects were actually successful, you think? Project Stormfury was supposedly abandoned in the 80's, despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars and producing significant results re: hurricane modification. So, of course, it probably continued off the record. And probably had better results than what we've already been told.<br><br>What are some other "pie-in-the-sky" projects that supposedly failed? <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=fourthbase>FourthBase</A> at: 11/24/05 6:57 pm<br></i>

BTW, here's the government's own website on hurricane modification, not to turn this into a thread on that.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hrd_sub/stormfury_era.html">www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hrd...y_era.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=fourthbase>FourthBase</A> at: 11/24/05 6:54 pm<br></i>

just from reading that wiki piece it seems thoroughly successful,

they identified lots of problems that would have been fixed with subsequent projects,
nothing that you try and learn a lot from is a failure,

i think you are correct in your basic hunch

I guess Stargate or whatever would also be considered a failed project.
