You are totally missing the point that to look 'out' into the universe is also to look back into the past, the further you look the older the light you are looking at, thus we can observe what the very early universe looked like.

We cannot look at much of the current universe because the light being created does not, and will never have, enough time to get to us, the space between us is expanding faster than light can overcome.

Pic related. The Hubble should have tried to looked back more and into the big bang.

Why didn't it tried to do so? Lack of funding?

looks like i was right it was A

the wcf3 was able to image the ultra deep field up to z~8

by comparison, a z~1 star is located http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDF_423 almost 10billion light years away

we're looking at about z~2
