Nature always seems to find complicity, or at least it provides the illusion of that, for presenting us with the survivors of nature. In that respect mankind has a complicit relationship with Earth, but what about sustaining space travel?
As plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen and man vice versa, I imagine that there must be in that system a recipe for perpetual sustainability in outer space, in tandem with our other complicity with plants where we eat them and then they eat our waste to grow some more. Again, that seems like there might be some sort of sustainable perpetuity there, although it would require the plant to grow enough material each day from the waste.
Given GM and the power and rays of outer space, perhaps ultra fast growing life sustaining plants might be eventually developed.
