Mathematically, space can be defined as the set of all real ordered triplets. Overall, everyone does have a vague idea of space as being everything, the whole of the region that surrounds us, or in other words, the whole of the universe is described as being space.

Many compounds first appeared in science fiction and speculative writing, e.g. spaceship (1894, "Journey in Other Worlds"); spacesuit (1920); spacecraft (1930, "Scientific American"); space travel (1931); space station (1936, "Rockets Through Space"); spaceman (1942, "Thrilling Wonder Stories;" earlier it meant "journalist paid by the length of his copy," 1892).

1. The region of the universe beyond Earth's atmosphere. ◇ The part of this region within the solar system is known as interplanetary space. ◇ The part of this region beyond the solar system but within the Milky Way or within another galaxy is known as interstellar space. ◇ The part of this region between the Milky Way and other galaxies is known as intergalactic space.
2. The familiar three-dimensional region or field of everyday experience.
3. Mathematics A mathematical object, typically a set of sets, that is usually structured to define a range across which variables or other objects (such as a coordinate system) can be defined.

2 : a limited extent in one, two, or three dimensions
