This article aims to outline an approach to transhumanism from postphenomenology, astrobiology and astropolitics. Delving into the first area allows us to highlight the importance of this technological and philosophical movement to understand how the union between technical artifacts and subjects can create the ideal conditions for posthuman ontogenesis, that is, an overcoming of the human species through technology. The consequences of this possibility cover multiple areas, of which astropolitics and astrobiology have been scarcely studied in Spanish. Incorporating these two areas offers a speculative panorama that is not minor to visualize what would be the political, economic and existential disputes of a future posthuman civilization in hypothetical space settlements. These disputes, together with the project of colonization of the cosmos, have as their background the collapse of the Earth, which raises a series of questions as to whether it is possible to stop elsewhere the same dynamics that have caused the destruction of this planet. This inevitably implies highlighting the tensions and the struggle for technological imaginaries. To analyze all these elements, the article is organized in three parts. The first is a theoretical introduction to postphenomenology. From this, the second section delves into transhumanism, especially the figure of the cyborg, and finally, the third section analyzes the astropolitical and astrobiological implications of this posthuman entity.

Palabras llave : Transhumanism; astropolitics; cyborg; astrobiology; postphenomenology.
