Biosphere 2: eight people sealed inside a glass dome in Oracle, Arizona for two years starting in 1991. This episode covers the $150 million experiment funded by Ed Bass, the oxygen levels that fell from 20.9% to around 14.5% with no explanation, the constant hunger, and the crew fracturing into two factions that stopped speaking.
Also covered: Jane Poynter leaving through the airlock 12 days in for a hand injury and returning with a duffel bag, the cockroaches and ants that thrived while the pollinators went extinct, Ed Bass wiping out management in 1994 and installing Steve Bannon as CEO, and two original crew members breaking the seal from the outside days later.
