the universe expands at the speed of light and has since the big bang. This has been going on for 15billion years

I found the comment about the expanding balloon a bit...er...bizarre. Just because a balloon is expanding doesn't mean it has no boundry. Your analogy needs some work.
What is beyond space? Well, by definition, nothing. To say that there is anything outside of space wouldn't really make any logical sense. "Nothing," by the way as someone once said, 'is what rocks dream of.'

If space doesn't have an end then how does it have an edge. However, I think there is an end but it is always expanding and getting farther away.

By definition, the "universe" is everything there ever was, is now, or ever will be. To observe and analyze some thing into which our universe is expanding would require us to somehow leave our universe, along with all of its physical laws that make our existence even possible. Wondering about what's beyond our universe is like standing precisely at the North Pole and asking what lies farther north.

No end for space, since :
1- We can't reach its end.
2- We discover that the space is expanding, whatever you reach it became more far as time goes.
So we say that the space is endless ( just like infinity in math)

Think of space as a big-azz balloon, which keeps inflating forever and ever. You can't reach the edge, because there isn't one.

Space loops back around on itself making it infinate.

I don't believe anyone has any idea as to what lies beyond
the far edge of the universe..
Perhaps many more universes...

This is the edge = â (infinity)
