What of the galaxy wasn't endless? In a way this is true already. NASA more than likely will never make it out of our galaxy or near it so that technically speaking means the outer space might not be "endless". Also, if there was let's say a black hole surrounding certain galaxies and finally you come to this and have no other place to go you would be at the "end". So tell me do you think that the galaxies and outer space as a whole is really endless?
What if outer space really wasn't endless?

That logic really doesn't make sense. Just because humans might not reach a point doesn't mean that's the absolute limit, and it most certainly isn't with our galaxy because of everything we've observed outside of our own.
Black holes can't surround a galaxy (because their orbits would be too unstable and send each other flying off on new trajectories), and even if they could be there, their distortion of light would be so extreme that they would be impossible to not notice.

If space was really so limited, then we wouldn't be making so many new discoveries of new stars and galaxies in the night sky on a monthly basis. 🙂
With the present technology of space travel, I agree that the limit is the capability of man to travel outward. I believe that the universe is not limitless although man has still to discover the boundaries. But on a practical point of view, it doesn't matter if the universe is limitless or not because we wouldn't know it anyway.
