A space colony, especially a distant and self sufficient one, can collectively
be freer from external threats than anyone on Earth. But the constraints on
individual behavior may necessarily be far more stringent. Air, food, and
water management are obvious examples, but there may also be a kind of "small
town" pressure for social conformity that a lot of us would find opressive.
Paradoxically, the most free society from an individual standpoint might be a
low population density socialist structure, where the robotic economy provides
a societal floor of basic food, shelter, medical care and some income.
