We've never been up there. And we've only seen footage of it. So how do we know it exists? Did we really walk on the moon? or is that a set? Are we just a giant "ant-farm" for another entity that treats us like his pet-project?

i think in the past few years we have been in space but in 1969 we didn't walk on the moon the country needed something to believe in, President Kennedy promised the landing on the moon before the end of the '60s he was shot people were in tears the country was coming undone because of Vietnam and the government staged it to give us hope...without the amount of lying NASA and the government did in the past i don't think we'll ever know

You and I may not have been up there, but people have. You have been presented with this idea of space, and a lot of facts surrounding its existence. Whether or not you choose to believe those things is your choice, and therefore a matter of faith. I calculate more probability that space exists and so I believe. Even if we were in some giant ant-farm, that wouldn't change the fact of space's existence.

We have been into space; we can see space through our land based and our space based telescopes. It is not a matter of faith, it is a matter of faith.
And yes, we landed on the moon and left a laser reflector there which is still used today for experiments (scientists on the earth aim a laser at the reflector and measure the amount of time it takes for the beam to come back.)

Well you ARE in space.... just happening to be (I'm guessing) on the planet Earth surface which is "in space" as much as everywhere else, but having a locally dense thin layer of atmosphere. The atmospheric sparsity progresses demonstrably quickly as you gain altitude above sea level. 10 K ft. is enough to notice the difference. What IS space (space-time)???... ahhhh.... an existential question grasshopper!

You can see for yourself, on any clear night. Get a telescope. Read books. Go to school. Learn the science. Verify things yourself. Use your brain. Do the math. Trust but verify.

Space is nothingness, we know nothingness exists,so its there (or not there as the case is).
Time, now there's something confusing.
