Stone henge was probably an astronomical observatory. The Egyptians toyed with celestial architecture some 6000 years ago. Most likely the first people to gaze in wonder at the moon and Venus, Mars, and Jupiter thought about space.

The Greeks are the first to have made decent records of their spatial measurements. They knew the moon was 30 earth diameters away as early as 400 BCE. Eratosthenes measured the earth's circumference by 200 BCE.

After that, the study of space fell primarily to the Arabs, who invented the astrolab and excellent star charts.

Do people live out of space?

There have been humans living in space since the late 1980's. NASA had a few people aboard the Spacelab back in the 80's, and the Russians had people aboard Mir starting in 1989 until it was abandoned in 1999. The International Space Station has been continuously occupied since November 2000, so there have been people living in space for most of the last 20 years. Living in space takes care and technology, but there is no reason why substantial numbers of people in the far future shouldn't live their lives in space, never coming to Earth - or any other planet!
