I know where outer space is, but where is inner space?

I know I'm not the first one to wonder, but really...

Inner Space (1987)
Inside of the Earth's gravity well I guess, You could probably even say it's just low earth orbit if you consider the moon outer space.
- Is inside the atmosphere really space though? Sure, in the sense it has a volume, but that's not what people mean by space
  
  The Earth's gravity well extends far beyond the atmosphere. The moon is for example is well inside the gravity well and even the hill sphere meaning Earth's gravity is the dominant gravity force on the moon.
It's where shower thoughts come from - the pocket universe inside your head.
- The noosphere?
It's where you find inner peace
You're soaking in it.

- I put more hours into this game than is even reasonable.
  
  I cant imagine this game running on a steam library! Lol what were hardrive sizes at the time? Had we even got to gigabytes yet?

- That’s exactly what they want you to think
- I'm talking out my ass here but I think outer space literally meant "outer area" as in the area outside of our planet, and we're so used to that term that it's turned into the proper noun Space. Earth (or whatever celestial body is your current frame of reference) is implied to be the inner space.
  
  Like maybe “outer space” was a thinner layer out at the edge of the World? Before we realized it was vast?

It's on the inside
From one of my favorite episodes of X-Files, where I first heard the term "inner space," I define it as subterranean/oceanic. The space within our planet. The episode was talking about aliens that came from the center of the Earth, as opposed to space. And I always thought that was a neat twist. It was also one of those weird ass ones Duchovney directed so it was high on the humor scale and featured the Lone Gunmen which I always liked.
