   How many people would a spacecraft have?

   • Our minimum viable population has been much debated, but several anthropologists have suggested a figure of about 500. Because small populations are always at greater risk of collapse, in the past I have suggested founding populations of about 2,000 in a spacecraft that gives this population ample room to grow.

   Why do we study population growth?

   • Why Study Population Growth? Population ecology is the study of how populations — of plants, animals, and other organisms — change over time and space and interact with their environment. Populations are groups of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time.
