Isn’t this because Hubble is actually made to look deep into space and not under its nose? I’m sorry, but I’m not watching a 14 minutes video for that.
They’re right on this one. This picture here is pretty illuminating about the sizes of the views that Hubble captures:
Image source with additional reading.
Zooming into an object a couple of meters in size on the surface of the Moon is in a completely different ballpark.
I did a two minute internet search and every result says that the Hubble doesn’t have the angular resolution for this. It could resolve a football field on the moon, but not anything smaller.
It was made to look at nebulae and galaxies, and those are a lot bigger, even in apparent size.
Focal distance doesn’t matter when the aperture is so infinitesimally small compared to the distances. All space telescopes are focused to infinity no matter what they’re observing up there.

don’t trust everything on the internet.
