You'd need to fly something up to it, no doubt.

Besides, even *finding* it looks fairly impossible to me.

You could probably find it given enough time, money, and effort; but
what would be the point of doing that?
Want to recover something historic from space, go get Vanguard 2,
it's the oldest thing still up there, and we know where it is.
It's also small enough to be pretty easy to retrieve.


Correction, it's not the oldest thing still up there, that's Vanguard 1
- a tiny thing weighing only 3.2 pounds that would be very easy to grab
and return:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanguard_1


I tend to use Vanguard 1 as a personal touchstone to my connection
to the Space Age, as it was launched four days before I was, but I
outweighed it, even at the time. :-)

Depends on which time point you take for "launched". ;^) It was
launched a month and a half before I was born and I also outweighed it
at that point. 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.

My personal connection is that I turned seven the day that Gemini 3 flew.

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
