I doubt, from the almost casual references to space that are scattered throughout the lyrics, that this is referring to space as being "The Final Frontier." I think that, as this guy is talking about how he's lived a good life and has done so much, and how he's not afraid of death anymore, that he is implying that death is the Final Frontier. Death is the one thing that we never know until we get there. It is the real Final Frontier. I can see this theme fitting in with the rest of the album, as it contains many references to space, but that might just be part of a double entendre. There are a few other songs that contain cryptic references to death or are more specifically focused on death as a lyrical theme. So I really think that this album is really mostly about death, but it just happens to happen partly in space to give it a slightly darker and alien context.
