This theoretical essay draws on the spatial theory of Henri Lefebvre and others; as well as recent technoscientific ethnography (Lisa Messeri) and cultural-architectural history (Fred Scharmen) within Space Studies; as well as the ideas of space-settlement found in the work of Gerard O'Neill, Timothy Leary, and Freeman Dyson.
It proceeds and concludes by synthesizing these threads into a particular conceptual assemblage which makes spatial, political, and ontological arguments concerning strategies, tactics, and operations of/in praxis within the frame of the contemporary and everyday life, as well as towards long-term goals involving these topics with special focus centering the entwined foci of:
1) Spatial praxis and the production of space;
2) Post-scarcity and cyborg-Posthumanist futures, which reach out towards space settlement beyond the territory of the Earth.
The essay is also served with original digital art by the author.

This paper explores the poetics and aesthetics of time travel, charting a conceptual cartography, and it's use as a site of narratological experimentation. It then analyzes time travels use as a narrative device in Star Trek.
