Is Space Mountain scary for little kids?

No need to worry. If your son is tall enough to ride, he won't have a problem, unless he simply gets scared. There are no big drops on Space Mtn.; only small short ones (at least 3 or 4). The scariest part is the dark and if you're not in the front, you really can't see where your going.
