Does his criticism even come close to seeming like he understands what the idea behind space ship earth is? I mean, whoever held that it was quote - "friendly". I read that chapter and almost just skipped it, because of its really ignorant view, a disappointment seen as the rest of the book seems to be thoughtful and very well argued.
The idea of the spaceship earth is that we have to use the resources better to keep us alive, not that the earth will do it by default because of the enviroment being friendly. moreover that humans have the potential to put its resources to good use, if they use their brains . and in fact this is the same conclusion that deutsch comes to in critizing his misconception of it, and in the processes dispensing of a pretty decent metaphor (that never implied friendliness). I think that deutsch could have put it to good use, but instead seems to burn a straw man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.25.118.72 ( talk) 09:25, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Can anyone determine the first date of publication of Buckminster Fuller's Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth? It would be interesting to know whether it preceded or followed Kenneth E. Boulding's essay. — JimR 07:30, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Although all other searches verify the lines as quoted here, the wikisource book is quite different, even down to counting 'chapters' instead of 'books'. Irritating. para 21 on this page, IV.II.21 on this page. Alf 20:53, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
I've been bold and gone for a clear opening statement, if you feel it is, in fact, rubbish, please revert to previous. Alf 21:36, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Asimov published a book titled "Earth: Our Crowded Spaceship" in 1974. It treats the idea of earth as a ship of limited resources in a very "childrens textbook" manner, in that it's easily understood and covers a large, general, time line instead of getting too specific.
Some mention of this book should be here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.176.53.242 ( talk) 20:03, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Recents edit have put either Robert Wardinski or Henry George as the first user of the term.
See this edit diff.

What on Earth is going on with this sentence?
Spaceship Earth is the name given to the 54,864 m geodesic sphere that greets visitors at the entrance of Walt Disney World's Epcot theme park.
