Telescopes Reaching Ends of Universe

It seems like once every month or so we see stories in the news about
telescopes making new discoveries with regards to reaching the far ends of
the universe. From what I've read (which isn't much), we can now see some
of the first galaxies and stars ever made. We can also pick up that
background radiation or whatever it is at the ends of the Universe.

This is what I would love to see - a big push by the astronomers/science
community to make what ever telescope they need and at whatever size it
needs to be to let them see the actual end of the universe.

They could try to get the public on their side by pushing the idea of
finally reaching the end of the Universe. No, not traveling to the ends of
the Universe. No, not black and white or color pictures like the ones of
galaxies and nebulas. But with radio and infra-red telescopes and the other
types of telescopes they use.

They could make the case that once they can pick up the end of the
Universe with their telescopes then they will be the masters of that domain.
Once they reach the end then there is nothing that will be able to hide from
them.

I know the public would not get behind this like they did when the U.S.
sent a man to the moon, but maybe on a smaller scale it might get some
support.

Anyway, I think these stores we see on the news and read about on the
net and in magazines are really amazing.
