The purpose of this book is to initiate a new discussion on liberty focusing on the infinite
realms of space. The discussion of the nature of liberty and what it means for a human to be
free has occupied the minds of thinkers since the Enlightenment. However without exception
every one of these discussions has focused on the character of liberty on the Earth. The
emergence of human space exploration programs in the last 40-50 years raise a fundamental and
new question: what will be the future of liberty in space? This book takes the discussion of
liberty into the extraterrestrial environment. In this book new questions will be addressed
such as: Can a person be free when the oxygen the individual breathes is the result of a
manufacturing process controlled by someone else? Will the interdependence required to survive
in the extremities of the extraterrestrial environment destroy individualism? What are the
obligations of the individual to the extraterrestrial state? How can wetalk of extraterrestrial
liberty when everyone is dependent on survival systems?
