Is that with or without recycling the dead into the food chain? I mean, it’s macabre but it would definitely make up for a shortfall of resources.

I’m thinking some kind of genetically engineered fungus could do the job pretty well. And then we could have something else edible grown on harvested mushrooms if we’re squeamish about still only being one level removed from eating grandma.

First I’ve heard of this problem. Wouldn’t this be the same for mars colonization? Or this is unique to the gen ship?

Also do we consider long term stasis a gen ship use case, or is it no longer “generational” at that point?

If we can solve the problem of generating phosphorus

Any more info on this? Curious about phosphorus, haven’t heard about it before in context of long-term space travel.
