Earth on Earth
What do the desert and the moon have in common! Would
you believe that astronots rehearsed the moon landing in
the desert? The desert is also home to a huge bioshere
where Earth’s ecology is re-created inside a sealed glass
dome. Eight scientists trained in zology, biology, and
geology lived inside of the biosphere for two years. If
the experiment was a success, a biosphere could be built
on the moon. Space exploration would be easier. The
experiment was neither a disastor, nor was it a success.
The scientists had trouble controlling the atmospher
inside. I think its too soon to build a biosphere in space.

field events. These events take place in an audatorium on
a variety of surfaces. The audience watches with great
attention. One of these events is the javelin throw. With
all his might the athlete hurls the javelin. The groan of
the effort is audable to everyone. The javelin competition
can be won by as little as a decimetr or centimeter. The
loser will, naturally, feel dijected. However with nine
