Or was it launched seven and a half months after I was conceived and it outweighed me by a vast amount at that point in time! Like you I was not conceived during the Space Age but I was born during it. |

wonder if hubble could image it, or a NRO spy sat? or image it using a
sat on the way somewhere else.. like a comet or asteroid mission....... how about a manned mission to a comet or asteroid with a stop to pick up snoopy? in such a case retrieval might be easier the large problem will be deorbiting it......... currently no one has a way to return large items from orbit |
