The word ‘society’ evokes images that go beyond the sheer number of people living within a defined territory. Society involves laws and ethics politics, religion, and other relationships between people.
In the module this week we reviewed the Biosphere2 project in southern Arizona where scientists lived in a representation of the spheres of Earth. In the end, Biosphere2 was beset by many problems, both social and scientific. Although much was learned about the relationship between science and society, some would call the project a failure due to social conflicts as well as design flaws
In this discussion, we’ll explore what was learned from Biosphere2 and hypothesize the ideal characteristics needed to successfully colonize another planet.
