fancy way of saying somethings made from plastic, titanium, special ceramics and other recent inventions/innovations that were a result of the research and development required for space flight.

It means it is so bad-*** that you must buy it now for 40 payments of $29.99 with $100 shipping and handling. It could also mean that it is material discovered since the early 60s or so when we began finding ways to fly into space.

Anything. It is an advertising phrase.
There is no formal or legal definition of "Space Age Material". It is usually implied to be a synthetic polymer, viscoelastic foam, ceramic or metal alloy which was not in use before the end of the 1950's.
Glass, old alloys (like pewter or brass), natural rubber and wood are not considered "Space Age Materials", but thin metalic coated Mylar, gelatinous viscoelastic padding, polycrystalline silicon carbide ceramics and titanium alloys are.

Nothing at all. It's supposed to imply that something's new and modern and sexy, but the space age is very nearly 50 now, so it doesn't have the impact it once did.
