Hubble Space Telescope spotting Neil Armstrong's lunar foot prints?

Neil Armstrong has fairly ordinary sized feet. There is no way a telescope over two hundred thousdand miles away could see his footprints, even if Hubble could be used to observe the Moon, which it cannot for several reasons. Hubble cannot look at anything too bright--this includes the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Plus the Moon is so close that Hubble's own motion would distort the image. Currently there is no way to observe any of the monmade objects on the Moon.
