cosmic background radiation offers proof of the big bang. it wouldn't require preexisting space. just as a bubble can inflate without its walls ending in nothingness, so can the universe.
the universe doesn't have physical wall boundaries, and i doubt we would ever be able to leave. it loops in on itself through higher dimensions that we cannot perceive so that if you were to travel in a straight line all the way across, you'd end up right where you started.

Imagine you're an archaeologist. You find what looks like the skeleton of a protohuman. One hand seems to be grasping an object – could it be a clue to how these early beings lived? You scrape off the mud only to find that the object resembles a cellphone.
Your sense of shock is akin to how Lorenzo Monaco of the European Southern Observatory in Chile and colleagues must have felt when they examined the elemental composition of an oddball star, prosaically named SDSS J102915+172927.
