TMR, the problem isn't hosting space... the problem is getting everything typed in or scanned in, so that it can be presented.
I have been working on it off and on for a while, I'm sure Csabo has been for this site as well.

You do not have to write to $ff08 if you only conserned by reading the keyboard.
Just write a#$ff to $ff08 once, which would disable reading the joystick state at all, but you don't really need that either..

The keyboard matrix is also here: [ link ]. A basic routine that would wait until space is pressed would be:
*
LDA #$7F ; Check column 7
STA $FD30 ; Keyboard Matrix
STA $FF08 ; Keyboard Latch
LDA $FF08 ; Keyboard Latch
AND #$10 ; Query keyboard for "Space"
BNE *
