It doesn't end so much as just fades away. As you go up, at 4 miles up there isn't enough air to keep you alive for long; at 20 miles up, there isn't really enough atmosphere to fly a plane. If you fly above 60 miles up, you can qualify for "Astronaut" wings in the USAF. But even at 100 miles up, there's still enough atmosphere to slow down your satellite and cause it to fall to Earth.
