Answer:

I’ve heard the phrase “Spaceship Earth” before but didn’t know much about it. Recently, I went down a rabbit hole where I read the labels of multiple Dr. Bronner’s soap bottles. You know, those labels with thousands of words? Emanuel Bronner is often remembered for his references to Spaceship Earth:

We have a peace plan where we unite the spaceship, where we unite all mankind.

In all we do, let us be generous, fair & loving to Spaceship Earth and all its inhabitants. For we’re All-One or None! All-One!

He’s not the only one. The concept of Spaceship Earth goes back in time before he ever put it on his soap bottles.

 

What is Spaceship Earth?

Here are some of my favorite definitions and descriptions of the Spaceship Earth concept:

“Spaceship Earth or Spacecraft Earth is a world view encouraging everyone on Earth to act as a harmonious crew working toward the greater good.”

More and more environmentalists and scientists talk about the planet as a complex system, one that human beings must aggressively monitor, manage and sometimes reengineer. Kind of like a spaceship.” — The Washington Post²

“A growing number of thinkers believe the Overview Effect heralds nothing less than the next ‘giant leap’ of human evolution. As breathtaking space-down views of our world seep into our cultural consciousness, people are waking up to the ‘Spaceship Earth’ analogy that casts our planet as a natural vessel with limited resources that must be steered responsibly by its crew.” — Vice Motherboard³

The history of the Spaceship Earth concept dates back to at least 1879. Henry George, George Orwell, Adlai Stevenson, and Barbara Ward all played a role in developing the concept over the next century. But if you search the concept today, you’ll see that the popularization really came from Buckminster Fuller.
