The people were in the biosphere for 1-3 months not for 10 years, and saw a marked
effect.I believe that submarines would be down for that long quite often,
furthermore in the same email that said about the biosphere said that one day in
such a chamber would add a year.
Submarines appear to be down long enough and without knowing the depth of the
biosphere they seem to be down deep enough.
I don't know how much of the time submarines are at great depths does anyone on
the list know how long and how deep submarines go?
