      Let \(\text{Emb}_c(\mathbb{R}^m, \mathbb{R}^n)\) be the space of smooth embeddings of \(\mathbb{R}^m\) into \(\mathbb{R}^n\) that coincide with a fixed linear embedding \(i: \mathbb{R}^m \to \mathbb{R}^n\) outside a compact subset of \(\mathbb{R}^m\). For \(m=1\) this space is usually called the \textsl{space of long knots}. For general \(m\), the authors now appropriately call it \textsl{the space of long embeddings}. In previous work, the authors have shown that when the dimensions are in the stable range (\(n\geq 2m+2\)), then the rational \textsl{homology} groups of these spaces can be calculated as the homology of a direct sum of certain explicitly described finite graph-complexes. In the present paper, the authors establish a similar result for the rational \textsl{homotopy} groups of these spaces. The paper is very carefully written with all details provided.
