It depends on which space you are referring to. Common people refer to space as the void in which everything else is contained. This space is infinite.
Scientists commonly think of space as a fabric acting like a balloon which is being blown into and expanding. At a given moment, this three-dimensional space of our universe is finite (having an end), although two-dimensional travel through space fabric is thought to be curved (and therefore endless). This balloon that scientists refer to as our universe containing what they call space is defined as being one of many universes moving in a larger multiverse. This multiverse is very similar to what most people would call space and may well be endless.
In sum, lay space never ends, but scientific space does.

According to some scientist infinity...but to others there is an end.
The term space comes from the reasoning that there is distance between objects and that distance is called "space". With that in mind in order for there to be an end to space there would have to be no distance between an object that rests on the edge of space,and for that to happen that means there would be a "brick" wall of sorts next to the object at the edge of space, and there isn't. So there will always be "space" past the next object in space.

Space is likely to be infinite. As far as the matter contained in space, that's another question. We'll never likely know for sure, however.

Depends what part of space you mean. Just the milky way, the hole Universe, or what?
milky way: i do not know.
Universe: No one knows. Possibly trillions, even gillions, of light years. Most people think its infinite. But know sciences even think thares a end.

space is infinate... we can see as far as 13 billion light years away right now....
Though that is our visual limit(aided of course) space goes well beyond that.

Oh, about 156 billion light-years. Why do you ask? In another year it'll still be 156 billion.

...To infinite, I think.
800,000,000,000,000 miles into space to the third heavan,where God Almighty dwells.

there is no end because space is constantly expanding.
