You said "Planets we can't reach", and we can reach all of the ones in our solar system, so I assumed you were talking about others.

Either way, I'm not sure what your point is about a moon observatory.
There's no way you could build something large enough to physically see extrasolar planets, and it still has no bearing on seeing say the surface of Venus.
It was more in response to his comment about seeing 'ruins' and by extension, buildings and grids associated with civilized life, which could potentially be observed with a powerful enough optical telescope.

On the note have reaching planets in our solar system, we have actually only physically landed on a few, most have just been fly-bys.
