i recall hearing at least one proponent of the thought that it has finite size, but that never made sense to me, in light of things like black holes.
although, since everything is relative, it was also precise size of the universe, which would make infinitally large as well as small. but viewed this way, does that make it differ from our current status in any significant way?
i dunno, just some terribly misguided thoughts.

Can someone tell me where this singularity was located
Obviously, it was located here.
Think about it for a minute.
my head!
i suppose another acceptable answer would have been "the current center from which everything is receeding" because that would technically have been the same place.

Re: statics of black holes
The capsule itself is pulled into a black hole and pops out from annother for a moment. Then engage drives and get away from it, before it pulls the capsule back.
call me when you build that anti-matter drive your astronaut would need to "isolate himself from the timespace pulls around him in a capsule"
because until then, the gravitational "spaghettification" effect even APPROACHING the roche limit is enough to rip most anything apart. not to mention that you seem to operating on the assumption that blackholes GO somewhere. all evidence points to the fact that only seem to be able to emit xrays, and barely at that. matter kind of... stays there and collapses to an infinite point.
entering one, would, well, suck.
