Biosphere 2

What a bizzare place! 

Our family took a trip out to Oracle yesterday with my honors group to have a tour of the Biosphere 2. 

My impressions:  It was so much smaller than I had pictured in my head.  200+ million dollars to build this thing, seems like a lot of good could have been done towards some other cause (but, that is just me).  There is not a chance in Hades that I would EVER live in one of these, here or on some other planet; ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!  I will stay on planet earth, thank you ever so much.

Our guide said something that really stuck with me.  We can try to mimic nature but we cannot duplicate it; it is too complex.  Even with the greatest minds all working together, we can try but we cannot duplicate nature.  Thank you, another testimony of God, our father and creator.

Now, our children, on the other hand, would love to live in the biosphere.  Crazy kids!!  I thought it was great how it sparked thier imagination.  Scott especially loves science which made it fun to watch him here make connections and putting things together that he learned there and that he had learned at school.
