Criteria for Resolution:

1. Self-Sustaining Space Colony:

- A space colony must be established that can support human life autonomously with a sustainable supply of necessary matter and energy.

2. Requirements for Self-Sustaining:

- The colony must be capable of producing its own food, water, and oxygen.

- It must have reliable sources of energy sufficient to support the needs of its inhabitants.

- The infrastructure should allow for recycling and reusing resources to a significant extent, reducing dependency on external supplies.

3. Realistic Expectations:

- It must be realistically expected that humans can live autonomously in the colony for extended periods.

- The colony does not need to be failure-proof against all possible disasters, rare events, or long-term degradation but must be sustainable under normal operational conditions.
