During WWII, VW produced a number of jeep-like vehicles for the German army (they were the inspiration for the Type 181 aka "Thing" in later years) and some of the later Kübelsitzwagens were built with AWD. These were quite popular with the Afrika Korps in Tunisia.
This is the kind of thing that honestly keeps me up at night.

Just because you reach the end of our local universe, doesn't mean it's the end of the universe.

What exactly is a "local universe"? Everything contained in our "universe" is considered a universe. Anything we find the further out we go is just more of our universe. Unless you somehow found a way to some kind of parallel universe, separate from our own.

Me too Joe, me too. My best guess would be nothing lies beyond it. No matter, no space or time, just nothing. I'd love to see that leading edge of expansion, I bet there is some mind exploding **** going on out there.

In short, there is a correct answer out of the nearly infinite wrongs. There are also good and bad hypotheses relating to the workings of the universe.
If this thread is named anything but "Space, the final frontier" you all should be killed.

As in, the human eye only sees a small part of the light spectrum.
Bring survival benefit (hard), wait two million years (boring), get answers.
Or just get really really cool supertelescopes, have stable psyche.
Edit: and hope that the border to nothingress radiates
