Don't think it is infinity. I cannot comprehend an infinate amount of golf balls or grains of sand.

or an infinate amount of distance or an infinate amount of time.

What you are asking is a question that really falls in a "grey area".
As you said in your comments, you really can not comprehend infinity. Personally, I understand infinity as a concept, but it is something that doesn't exist in earth or even in the universe.
Most scientists feel the universe has boundries that keep growing outward. No one knows where the boundries are, but if there are boundries, then there is a finite amount of space at any given instant in time.
Is there an infinite number of grains of sand in the word? How much water is in the world? How many molecules? Dollars in the American monetary system after the multiplier? For each, there is a heck of a lot, but each has a finite number, but the numner is so large there is probably no name for the number and it is easier to think of them as infinite (just like the amount of fossil fuels once were).
So what is the limit? That is something for an individual to decide for themselves. To me, the Physics equation describing an objects position is easy to understand and easy to apply. For another person, they would look at it and find the answer in the back of the book.

I'd say the limit approaches infinity. There will always be some new piece of mathematics that can be discovered and hence comprehended by at least one person on Earth

Mathematics is a construction of the human mind. It that sense, the limit is set by our current collective knowledge and continues to grow as we conceive more abstract ideas.

What are the limits of space? The same answer for human comprehension.. BUT.. over time

We set our own limits in everything we do.
If we try, we might. If we don't we won't.
