And there are going to be lots and lots of rules and laws that will
restrict the liberties of people living in these colonies, if only because
there are more ways in which a stupid or malicious person can harm (i.e.
kill) the community when even the air they breathe is available only
through the efforts of many men and machines.  Seems to me to me to be the
*last* place I'd expect to find Libertarians.

Why? If the rules in question are more reasonable than those on earth
(not hard to imagine, given the state of the rules on earth), they would
be very attractive to libertarians (note the small l).
