As Douglas Adams said,

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Space is the void between heavenly bodies through which planets, stars, meteors, satellites, radio waves, and everything else in the Universe moves. Travel through space is a common feature of Science Fiction, and overcoming the hazards of space travel (no breathable atmosphere, no pressure, excessive radiation, etc) is a common feature of that genre.
