1) We had the technology, but it was expensive and riskier than people are prepared to accept today. Check the details of the Soviet programme and how they kept going despite the high cost in lives.
2) The issue with Hubble is to do with optical resolution and light. At long distances it can grab light from Galaxies at the edge of the known universe, but it takes a long time to acquire it. Now try staring at the moon and then see if you can see anything else in the night sky. Hubble can only image the moon briefly without doing any damage. Also it does not have the optical resolution to image something that small
