A system of governance will be required for each of the human settlements that will predictably be established on the Moon, Mars, and other sites in the solar system in the 21st century. The success or failure of the extraterrestrial settlements will depend to a large degree upon the ability of their respective governments to create bodies of laws that facilitate space exploration and development and that serve the best interests of space faring peoples and institutions. The present paper discusses the "ideal law of government" as a model for the design of the laws of space governments.
