FTA: - "Clearly we need a much bigger telescope to go back much further in time to see the very birth of the universe," said Edward Weiler, director of Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Centre.
Now at the birth of the universe, the light started leaving at the speed of light, the matter somewhat slower. Without time-travel, or faster than light travel, no telescope can witness the big bang, or even events "relatively" soon afterwards.
If there was a big bang about 15 billion years ago, that light is now 15 billion light years in every direction from wherever the big bang happened, with all the matter (well) inside a sphere of that diameter. Good luck catching the light.
Can't believe you got modded back down. Obviously no current (or ex) client or IBM people with mod points today. Mine just expired, waiting for a post such as this.
I'll attempt to elaborate on parent.
If a host of domains is attacked, it would be nice if a system was in place to easily, and quickly, render backup assisance if required.
DNS is the core of user friendly internet access to everything.
The smaller players may have need for such a system, or may have not costed and implemented the measures to not need them.

Was anyone else anticipating the new version of the "Axis of Evil" speech?
Does "our own laser" refer to the planet, or some small insignificant country within it?
