I don’t know if I’d call it a total failure. There’s a pretty cool documentary about it an Apple TV+. I think if they had communicated the caveats better and more honestly then it would have been a success on the grounds of being a baby step towards the direction of the more ultimate case. I’d say the biggest success was showing that even with all the resources on earth available, this problem is non-trivial.

Low oxygen, low food, crashed ecosystem. Interesting science, but a total failure at demonstrating the feasibility of a closed ecosystem.
