The goal of the Non-Renewable Spaceship project is to sketch the needs for a functioning ecosystem capable of sustaining a given population in space. Two motivations underlie this research: First, to construct a scenario which motivates society to set aside non-renewable resources for an indefinite future (in case of catastrophe, or if we find that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153weak sustainability\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is insufficient after all). Second, to try to answer E. O. Wilson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s question, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What do we need to save, for a healthy future world?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve already worked out some of the principle resources: space, water, take-off fuel needs, and the ecosystem diversity that can be maintained under it.<\/p>\n
