This paper suggests activities to extend, amplify, and execute measures suggested in studies of the long term sustainability of space activity.1 We review terrestrial resiliency concepts and suggest how these may be applied in -space. We present concrete analysis of these principles with regard to space debris. We use these concepts to suggest measures for sustainability such as international consideration of launch rate constraints. This is analogous to allocating spectrum or rights to many natural resources. We suggest that the interaction of physics, economics, and laws or regulations should be pursued aggressively through collaboration among these interests.
