Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Ground-based telescopes have now been built much larger than the Hubble's mirror, and with adaptive optics, can cancel out much of the seeing problems of the atmosphere, giving space-like image quality from the ground with huge mirrors for enhanced resolution and light-collecting ability. Optical interferometry is used with ground-based telescopes to further improve their resolution.
