Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What freedoms can people expect in space and how will governance beyond Earth tread the fine line between authority and liberty? In this multi-author book, the contributors consider all aspects of liberty beyond Earth, from the near term: freedom to claim satellite orbits, to the very long-term: freedom on interstellar worldships. Liberty in societies on the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere in the solar system is considered. Gathering together scientists, ethicists, lawyers, philosophers, and social scientists, this book considers one of the most enduring questions of human organization: what institutional arrangements can allow for the realization of diverse forms of human freedom?
