Our Life on Spaceship Earth, a matter of survival or extinction.

Containing quotes and Paraphrases of Carl Sagan, Buckminster Fuller, and Albert Einstein. A short film by Warren Pollock

Spaceship Earth is a world view term usually expressing concern over the use of limited resources available on Earth and the behavior of everyone on it to act as a harmonious crew working toward the greater good.

It may have been derived from a passage in Henry George's best known work, Progress and Poverty (1879). From book IV, chapter 2:

It is a well-provisioned ship, this on which we sail through space. If the bread and beef above decks seem to grow scarce, we but open a hatch and there is a new supply, of which before we never dreamed. And very great command over the services of others comes to those who as the hatches are opened are permitted to say, "This is mine!"

I was a teen during Mr. Fuller's rise to fame. I remember once he was asked what it would be like to live on a spaceship. His reply, you are already.

I enjoyed that, thanks for posting.

I am glad you enjoyed Spaceship Earth.. I know my video work could be from "Ted Mack's" amateur hour, so I was a bit scared to post it on site of professional photographers and videographers. So it really pleases me to know that it did have some production value. The shots I am most proud of are the Lunar Module, the Death Mask, and the UN-GUN!
