Spaceship Earth:
"habitable and suitable for providing vital support of the passengers. This meager ten percent of the spaceship’s surface with its vitally hospitable damp surface is divided into many small fractions scattered so remotely from one another around the Earth’s sphere and with such vast and formidable waters, mountains, deserts, and ice intervening, that as a result each of the local groups of inhabitants of the various areas-- for 99 percent of the period of their known presence on Earth-- have been unaware of the other groups’ existence or whereabouts aboard the spaceship.
“Equipped materially to take care of its passengers for millions of celestial travel years, but needing additional energy to produce, maintain, and regenerate its complex, interchemically exchanging, life-support system, it was designed by the conceivor of the vast, ever and everywhere nonsimultaneously transforming Universe, that the additional and vital energy is constantly transmitted to the spaceship by the electromagnetic radiations emanating from enormous, fiery, unmanned, automated mother spaceships traveling in company with, but at great distances from, the little Spaceship Earth.”
