Gaia Spore

Gaia spore is a subset of the Gaia hypothesis, the concept that Earth's ecosystems can be treated as a single unified organism. The Gaia spore concept states that Gaia can reproduce via space colonization. Despite the ecological damage caused by the emergence of human technology within Gaia, their emergence is seen as an essential part of Gaia's reproduction via spreading of earth's ecosystems to other planets. The Gaia spore concept is an explanation of the purpose of human industry within the broader Gaia-ecological value perspective. A typical Gaia spore would be a spaceship containing humans and other organisms travelling to another habitable location far away from Earth.
