Still, I am not sure. Please tell me if my feeling is right or wrong. If the grammar is wrong, please tell me how to correct it.

Hi guys,
Nalmushrags, welcome to the Forum.
There are certainly other ways to write it, but the original sentence seems quite acceptable to me.
Best wishes, Clive

Dear Maple,
Thank you for your prompt response. Of the three alternatives you have given, I find the third one to be most appropriate. That is because it is absolutely necessary that the sentence should have a reference to 'space' in it. I have translated, into English, an essay originally written in the South Indian langauge of Kannada, and this sentence is from that essay.
