No. The Hubble Space Telescope was built on Earth and launched into space. It is about the size of a bus.
no
yes
Hubble does not have to contend with the atmosphere of the earth which bends and distorts images from earth-based telescopes.

More than 10,000 scientists built the Hubble Telescope. They were assigned to work on different parts of the Hubble Telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope is not as big as the moon. It is as big as the space shuttle cargo bay.
it can see further.

There are a number of differences. First, they are in different orbits; the Hubble is higher than the ISS. The ISS is a lot bigger. Probably the most important difference is that the Hubble has a big telescope but no people, while the ISS has people but no big telescope.

The Hubble can see further into space because it orbits outside of earth's atmosphere.
More than 10,000 people made the Hubble Telescope. It took 20 years to make the Hubble Telescope.
On our ability to view space is limited because of all the particles in our atmosphere that filter or refract light as it passes from space to us. The Hubble Space telescope was built to be an orbiting Telescope that was out of our atmosphere. It was used to probe the earliest reaches of the universe. The Hubble is roughly 370 miles from the Earth's surface. The newest space telescope created by NASA is the James Webb Space Telescope. That will be far more powerful than Hubble and will be in orbit around the sun 1 Million miles from Earth.
Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.
