Mirror? Why would I want to see Italy backwards?? And anyway, I still can't see Italy when I climb up on my roof, but I can see the moon from my roof.
If I get up on my roof to see the moon, the dam trees are in the way......

No, we're going to need a bigger vessel. Something that can carry a few dozen people to a Lunar ecpedition. Maybe something like a... moonbus?

Originally posted by @moonbusLet's see. If it is 3000 miles high in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, that would be a circle about 18000 miles around and the hubble chops up a circle into 25 million parts (0.05 arc seconds of res) So if the hubble were to be in line with the retrograde mirrors you would be able to see features about 4 inches across so yes.

What damn river are you damming?

Originally posted by @moonbusIf all you want is to see Italy from your roof, yes. If you want to see it from your windows, you'll need to bring them, as well.
Just the roof?
