I mean...where is it? Is it within you, in space or where?

The Kingdom of Heaven is a place but it is also a people. Like America is a place but it is also a people. Heaven is where God dwells. It's where we will end up if we are in Christ. It is very different than what we have right now here alive on the earth right now. There is no sin or sinful thoughts in heaven. There is no pain or sickness or death. There is purpose and fulfillment and joy. We will be with our Creator.

No, the Kingdom of God is within you.
The Kingdom of Heaven is actually on this earth in the form of the Christian church. It is better translated as the Kingdom under the Heavens to understand it correctly. If you read the parables about the Kingdom of Heaven in Matt 13 you will notice that it is full of evil, just like the present religious senerio on earth. It is really a detailed study and I am not able to do justice to it on YA.

A kingdom is a government under a king. God's kingdom is a real government with Jesus Christ as it's princely king. God's kingdom will rule over all mankind from heaven. That is why it is called the kingdom of heaven.

No.The words of Jesus at Luke 17:21 according to the King James Version of the Bible, namely, “the kingdom of God is within you,” have been cited to support this view. But logically, this could not be what Jesus meant. The context shows that Jesus addressed those words to his enemies, the Pharisees. It could hardly be said to them that they were undergoing a fine “experience of the heart,” “something personal and spiritual.” Indeed, they directly rejected God’s kingdom and its king Jesus Christ, saying, “We have no king but Caesar.”—John 19:15.
While the kingdom of God was certainly not within them, it could be said to be among them or in their midst. Why? Because the appointed King of the Kingdom was present there. Correctly, then, modern translations of the Bible render this passage: “The kingdom of God is in your midst,” or “is among you.”

LUKE 17:21
"The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say,"Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."

Yes, and it is in everyone who has God , our redeemer as their lord and king.
The kingdom of God is not geographical but only where God rules.
John 4:21-26
21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
25 The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."
26 Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."
(from New International Version)

It is within the imaginations of those people who are too pathetic to accept obvious reality.
