The show has gone through many changes during its four year course but the goal has always been the same . Previously known as Hyperspace and later The Circuit, the show would keep itself in change to both keep updated with Sci Fi fans and to update it's format to that of a dialogue where instead of simply recapping Space (TV channel) programming - the programming would be discussed like a forum by InnerSPACE's hosts. After finding out through showing The Circuit that one weekly show was not enough to cover the vast content Space (TV channel) had to offer, the show was updated to InnerSPACE's thirty minute format to achieve a balance of quality and quantity .Teddy Wilson
