Spaceship Earth Explores Two
Years in Quarantine, For Science
By Morgan Rojas for Cinemacy.com
In 1991, eight biospherians made a commitment
to live in a large, self-sustained
terrarium for two years. The futuristic-looking
dome was created as a prototype for colonies
to live in space; should Earth become
uninhabitable for any number of reasons,
this experiment would either confirm or
deny humans’ ability for survival on another
planet. In Matt Wolf’s documentary Spaceship
Earth, now streaming on Hulu, we are
given an insider’s look into this wild project
that was created by scientific pioneers, brave
humanitarians, and zany artists.
At the intersection of Art and Science is a
man named John Allen aka Johnny Dolphin.
The San Francisco-dwelling artist is portrayed
as a charismatic genius who easily could
befriend other like-minded bohemians. After
John and his newly formed community of
outsiders decided to form a theatre troupe
as an outlet for creative expression, John
shifted his focus from public performances
to visionary science. Concerned with the effects
of climate change, and with the support
of his troupe, John created the Biosphere 2.
His idea was to replicate Earth’s natural biosphere
that would incorporate all atmospheres
inside of a dome: a man-made rainforest, an
ocean with living coral reef, and a desert,
all curated with specific animals and plants
to populate it. In theory, it was genius. But
like all good sci-fi stories, things didn’t go
according to plan.
Spaceship Earth plays like a love child
between A24’s sci-fi drama High Life and
the Netflix sensational cult series Wild Wild
Country, with a little inspiration from NEON’s
The Biggest Little Farm mixed in. Supporters
viewed Biosphere 2 as the search for the
truth. Critics viewed it as trendy ecological
entertainment, complete with matching red
jumpsuits that looked like they came straight
off of a Hollywood set. Rumors of John’s
cult-like behavior are a fascinating theme
throughout the film, and while nothing is
ever proven, if it actually was a cult, it was
at the very least a force for good. In addition
to the astonishing story, the archival video
content and incredible time-lapse footage
are breathtaking.
Watching Spaceship Earth in these times
feels a bit ironic. I found myself thinking,
why would anyone willingly quarantine for
years!? However, there are similarities here
as we continue to isolate from the outside
world. Once the stay at home orders begin
to lift and we’re able to roam outside again,
the Earth, as we knew it pre-COVID-19,
will be changed. Hopefully for the better,
but changed nonetheless, and it is up to us
to keep our natural habitats happy, healthy,
and thriving. •

Your Neighborhood Therapist
Dear Neighborhood Therapist,
My husband is driving me nuts. Every
single day, he takes my slippers and puts
them in the closet instead of leaving them at
the bottom of the stairs. He moves the tissue
from a nice out-of-the-way place to the middle
of the kitchen and leaves it there. He uses a
new towel every time he takes a shower and
then tosses it in the dirty clothes pile without
making any effort to do the laundry in a
timely manner. He moves things around in
the kitchen when he’s looking for them, but
doesn’t replace them, and I feel like I spend
hours looking for things that are suddenly no
longer where I left them. He takes great credit
for cooking occasionally, but then he leaves
the kitchen looking like Hurricane Husband
blew through. I clean as I cook, and it ends
up being easier for me to cook AND clean.
I love my husband very much for many
reasons, but I feel that these differences are
really growing and driving us apart. Is there
anything that can be done about this?
- Quietly Fuming, El Segundo
Dear Quietly Fuming,
Imagine your relationship is a long walk down
a beautiful trail. You’ve each got a very nice
pair of hiking boots, but after a few miles you
realize that your husband kicked up a pebble
and now it’s lodged in one of your boots. The
pebble itself doesn’t hurt very much and you
could keep going, maybe for miles, but over
time you know it could cause a serious blister
or significant pain. For you, would the best
thing to do be shaking out your boots out
right away, even if it stops your momentum?
If these problems are like pebbles in a
boot, then you will have to decide how many
pebbles you can handle at once, and if it’s
worth it. Some of your problems may be solvable
through compromise, but some require
that one of you give in. Some won’t have
solutions. Even though it’s pain, sometimes
you have to stop and shake your boots out
and get rid of the pebbles. You might have
to do this every day. It might or might not
be worth it to do this maintenance, but leaving
the pebbles in your boots, or leaving the
status quo, is more likely to cause bigger
problems down the line.
There are no trails where pebbles don’t get in
your boots, and you will of course accidentally
kick pebbles into your husband’s boots, too.
When you think about your relationship with your
husband, ask yourself how many pebbles you
can handle and have the journey still be worth it.
If you need help, or have the ability to help
others, please reach out and I will coordinate.
If you or someone you know needs to talk to
someone, please reach out and I will take
as many people as I can during this crisis,
regardless of ability to pay. Please write to
