Well I see the ISS and various satellites nightly. For now I assume its there, seeing as the ISS is less that one quarter the size of the jets I see at the highest altitude I can see them at. Logic dictates its waaaaaay higher as if it was that small it couldn't stay aloft 24/7

It's the real deal. I've seen satillites with my own eyes.

It's real. It is not made up by NASA. Space has been around forever.

Yes. Space is real. Except in my closet, where there is always an absence of space!

Well I hate to break it to you, but satellites aren't in "SPACE" they are in low earth orbit. That's anywhere from 100 miles up to 1,200 miles. Either way, not outer space.

I'm no expert, but the quick google search I did (Wikipedia) seems to disagree with you. Whose right? Or since it's not well defined perhaps it's somewhat subjective. But your post sounded quite positive.

"There is no firm boundary where outer space begins. However the Kármán line, at an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level, is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties and for aerospace records keeping."

That definition seems pretty arbitrary. It doesn't define being completely out of Earth's atmosphere, which in my opinion would be considered the "vacuum" of space.

It's pretty obvious that space exists. However I would consider our knowledge of what exactly it is, incomplete.

Fair enough.

Voyager 1 is in deep space now, 135 AU from the sun.
