Excuse me, if you read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", you will see that libertarianism can totally work in a space colony^{_{^{provided you cede decision-making and resource allocation to an ultimate unquestionable authority, which is okay as long as it's an AI}}}

Likely wouldn't be as dramatic. It would just be, "Oops, no one wanted to lose their freedom and do maintenence on the life support system. Everyone died while sleeping. "

Like necessarily yes any extraplanetary colony is going to have its own dispute resolution process, because they literally cannot be subject to the authority of another loving planet, you can't call space 911 and send the space cops to shoot up the mars colony.

This falls into the "much ado about nothing" territory. By international treaty he's right. But it doesn't matter at all because any laws you violate in international waters are still crimes back home.

Reminds me of a friend who, in his 20s, are asparagus for the first time. The next day, we were playing frisbee and he offered me a bottle of water from a case in the back seat of his car, warning me the water would make my urine smell.

He was mystified when I asked if he had asparagus recently, wondering how the hell I knew.
