Can we build a bigger Hubble?

This has probably been discussed a billion times??? but I am interested in hearing peoples response. Funding aside, is it possible to build a massive Hubble? I think Hubble is 2.4 metres? Could we build a 5-6 metre (or larger) monster in order to have a good look at extra-solar planetary systems and other DSOs? Are there limitations to what we can do? How large could/would we need to go and what do you think we could see?
