This volume provides an in-depth discussion on the central question
- how can people express and survive dissent and disagreement in
confined habitats in space? The discussion is an important one
because it could be that the systems of inter-dependence required
to survive in space are so strong that dissent becomes impossible.
John Locke originally said that people have a right to use
revolution to overthrow a despotic regime. But if revolution causes
violence and damage that causes depressurisation with the risk of
killing many people, is it even permissible to have a revolution?
How then are people to express their liberty or dissatisfaction
with their rulers? The emergence of structures of dissent and
disagreement is an essential part of the construction of a
framework of liberty in space (revolution is just the extreme
example) and thus the topic deserves in-depth and immediate
attention. Even today, the way in which we assemble organisations
and corporations for the government and private exploration of
space must take into account the need for mechanisms to allow
people to express dissent.
