Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Refractors must use lenses, and thus all suffer from some chromatic aberration; mirrors reflect all wavelengths of light the same. Correcting for chromatic aberration means including more optical surfaces, requiring more work than any reflector design, which includes the secondary mirrors. Large refractor lenses must be supported by their edges, which means they will flex under their own weight. Mirrors can be built much larger, and supported from the back with no light blockage. Lenses require two precision surfaces; mirrors only need one. Thick lenses will absorb some light, which is not an issue for mirrors.
