The shape of space

[HeavilyArmed]

I may not understand an answer here but I need to ask the question.

We have a hugely red shifted proto-galaxy 'A' in one direction, maybe 12+ billion ly distant and in exactly the opposite direction we have another, 'B', exactly the same. It's not possible that A + B are 24 billion ly distant. Does this mean that at any point in space you will be surrounded by galaxies in every direction out all the way back to time ~0? If that's true what does that say about the shape of space (it's space-time, isn't it?)?
