Abstract
Engineering for Liberty—spacesuit, habitat, and social communications designs as espoused by Charles Cockell for helping ensure better safety, fairness and opportunities for creative dissent—is examined in light of current New Space endeavours and their Space Agency and regulatory context. Its approaches are contrasted with recent science-fiction based speculations and put in the context of fast-emerging Collective Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence capabilities.

Notes
- 1.
In my own research, I am developing computer vision and machine-learning capabilities to assist in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) by way of seeking evidence of trace artefacts, including in our own solar system. There is active debate within our own UK SETI Research Network about whether we should broadcast messages ‘to’ ETI’s rather than just seek signals from them; again since our own future ‘superintelligences’ may be the stewards of communications either way, one might hope that they—and ‘them’ might have Bostrom’s philanthropically friendly top goals.
