When I am thinking that God has no beginning and no end...well, I can´t understand that? It´s just like outer space, where does It end?... Do you have any answers to that?

Nope. But if we could fully understand/explain God He wouldn't be much of a God.
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

We must have faith that our Creator has always been and these Scriptures help us to maintain that faith:
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. Psalms 102:25-27
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Psalms 90:2
As the Creator of all things, the “King of eternity,” existed before all others. He is “from everlasting to everlasting,” meaning that he had no beginning and will never have an end.—1 Timothy 1:17; Psalm 90:2

If you want to contemplate eternity in a form you can comprehend, think of a circle.
That cannot explain imaginary entities, since they have no form to begin with, but it does explain the eternal universe, The universe is a gigantic circle and our galaxy is a mere speck on that great cosmic circle.
It has no beginning or end and was not created. It has always been. (<<<--- that concept is incomprehensible to humans and is why humans invented Gods)

You are right to think of God as outer space in that there is no end. God created man with a brain to dominate and subdue everything on earth. We have done that. Man also wants to dominate and subdue God. This will never happen.

We humans are limited in our thinking and concepts and do not understand beyond our limits of time and space. God always was, and always will be. We cannot humanly conceive of this in our simple minds. God is infinite. This is what we believe in and we believe in it because of faith. Faith is a belief in something that cannot be proven. One quote I really like is by a Catholic priest, Father John Corapi, he says...."God has placed obvious limits on our intelligence..but non whatsoever on our stupidity" There is no understanding God but we accept on faith. Some would turn this around and do often call Christians and religious people "Stupid" but thats because they have no faith and accept only what they themselves can comprehend.

Well, no one can comprehend eternity. At least no us humans while here on earth. I can't imagine just simply going and going and going without sleep. The idea makes us a little crazy, I think, trying to figure it out. But it's only natural, God is greater than us so naturally we cannot fully comprehend Him.

It is hard to grasp, but that in itself doesn't rule out God. How many people cant fully grasp even simple things that others can?
Or perhaps a magician's illusion that seems to have no rational explanation. We know there is an explanation though we cant fathom it.
It is not possible to fully grasp or comprehend God's eternal status.

Well we measure beginnings and endings by time and since God created time He exists outside of it. Therefore, He has no beginning or end.

PROVERBS 3:5 TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WILL MAKE YOUR PATHS STRAIGHT.
IMAGINE GOD'S POINT OF VIEW. IT'S LIKE YOU WATCHING AN ANT GOING TO A CERTAIN DESTINATION. YOU ARE THERE WHEN IT BEGINS IT'S JOURNEY AND WITHOUT MOVING YOU ARE THERE WHEN IT ARRIVES. YOU SEE THE ENTIRE PATH BUT THE ANT CAN ONLY SEE WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. YOU CAN PLACE THINGS IN THE PATH TO SEE WHAT THE ANT WILL DO BUT YOU KNOW THAT ONLY DEATH CAN STOP THE ANT FROM REACHING IT'S
DESTINATION. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU SEE ALL THE POSSIBILITIES IN THE ANT'S JOURNEY AND YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SAVE THE ANT FROM DEATH.
