No need for the global flag, since there's only one end of line per line.

sed 's/$/ /' input

did u redirect the output ?

eg :

 
$ awk '{print $0" "}' inputfile > outputfile
$ sed 's/.*/& /' input > outputfile
$ sed 's/$/ /g' input > outputfile

or if your sed supports the -i option, then try

 
sed -i 's/$/ /' input

u want space as in ' ' or the word space

if its word space then

 
sed 's/$/"space"/' input

To edit the file in place:

ed -s project <<'EOED'
1,$s/$/ /
w
q
EOED
