monks in space

the ending of a canticle for leibowitz, although bleak, is inspiring. I wonder which other stories of monks in space could exist -- and which ones are in Flancia.
- I keep thinking of a spaceship (colony ship? space station?) assembled out of standard containers which communities can choose to organize however they want -- the first ones started by monks but open to the wider community.
- outside, roaring spaceships
- #pull we'll be monks in space
