I THINK SPACE ENDS WHERE IT STARTS.

The size of space is unknown, but the minimum limmit is 78 billion light years. THe maximum amount we can see is 13.7 billion light years from Earth
What is it like? Cold and dangerous- the temperature changes depending on how close you are to a star. There is generally a lot of radiation about which will kill you. It's also incerdibly empty- if the universe was a cube 30km long, then all the matter would take up the same volume as a grain of sand. There are all sorts of nasties like magnetars and black holes lying around.

It would have to be where the universe hasn´t yet expanded to. There would be no light, no radiation of any kind. Not a single photon or particles at all. No forcefields, no gravity and no matter to generate gravity. Infact there cannot be any of the forces of nature that we are used to as those are all part of our universe. You´re talking about a place beyond the universe. If matter at all could exist there, if you could travel there, you would find it very very dark and cold. Darker than the intergalactic medium actually. Because even a place 100 million lightyears from the nearest galaxy would still be permeated by gravity and photons and the other forces of nature would still be there.

Space is a finite entity.
It has a maximum and minimum density beyond which[either way] it can't exist.
Through expansion and the emergence of matter the density of space diminishes,and when it reaches a minimum it will go out of existence.
The mechanism of it's demise is likely through the evolution of galaxies.
The universe has a radius of about 6 billion light years,it could be much older but no bigger,space goes out of existence at these distances.

It doesn't end, it keeps going on and on and on. Space is constantly expanding into nothing, no one has been able to determine what space is expanding into but it keeps expanding. The universe as we know it is 13.5 billion years old, thus 13.5 billion light years wide, (Sorry you will have to work the enormous number out for yourself) The way space is curved means that from edge to edge is 13.5 billion light years wide.
Dr. Hubble found this out back in the early 1900s when he discovered the Red Shift. As other objects move away from us the Red Shift in the light spectrum gets longer, the longer the Red Shift the father away the object is.

There is no boundries for space it is beyond our(humans) capablity,but one day genes could find a solution.
The universe is at least 156 billion light-years wide

It doesn't. For all intents and purposes, the universe is infinite, unless time could be made to stand still. Otherwise, the universe is constantly expanding at tremendous speeds.

until astronauts haven't discovered it ,
we don't know
but others say that it is infinitive or it doesn't end

it nearly never ends. it streches on towards infinity. for more info, visit
