Just like Earth is an object with a location in space, suppose space is an object, what is beyond it? Is space located somewhere? If yes, where?

Perhaps our universe is a 4-spatial-dimensional bubble among trillions in a vast 6-spatial-dimensional environment.

It isn't like that. Space isn't an object, which can have a location. Space is all the 'location' there is. Space is everywhere, although we don't know exactly what that means. Space may be infinite, but at the moment that seems to be the minority view among cosmologists. The majority view is probably that space is finite, but unbounded. To get an idea of what that means, think of the surface of a sphere. It has no edges (so, for example, ancient mariners couldn't, after all, fall of the edge of the world), but it is definitely finite in extent. Space may be a 3D analog of that.
Another way of thinking about it is that Euclidian space, the theoretical construct we use to think about geometry etc., isn't a phsyical phenomenon at all, so it can't or couldn't be 'anywahere'. It is just a frame of reference, a measuring concept.

The "space" between G W Bush's ears has got to be a prime contender...
It is a mystery of the universe though.
One day science may be able to give an answer.
For now we simply say that space is finite and unbounded.
Sadly, the one person who understood all this is no longer with us (Einstein)

Really? You want to reword that question? Space is what I displace when I move. Space is an all inclusive catchword, which has worn out its meaning in a world or cosmos of such incredible variety.

space is everywhere there is nothing beyond it, it goes on forever you can never reach the end of space hope this helped :)
-
everywhere bud, stuff exists in it so it is all over the place around you!
only tricky thing is where i left my car keys hotdang it! or where they burried jimmy hoffa?

Space holds all matter inside of it and expands forever.
