Aspects of liberty beyond Earth, from the near term: freedom to claimsatellite orbits, to the very long-term: freedom on interstellar worldships, are considered.

What are the ideal forms of institutions, from science academies to schools and governments? What freedoms can people expect in space and how will governance beyond Earth tread the fine line between authority and liberty?A compelling analysis of liberties on Earth, the solar system, and beyond - this text is bound to inspire the interests of academics andscientists alike.
