Is it a technological problem, which may one day be solved, or a physical impossibility?

The best Photo the Hubble made of Pluto was Fuzzy at best. Given the correct instrument, could it be picture perfect?

I will tell you why. A thought crossed my mind the other night. I was wondering if there was a way to get a picture of our Galaxy, face on. The only way I could think of would be to use an extremely powerful telescope and look out for a reflection from a very far away comet or something.
 
All the comets we see are inside our galaxy. Everything is, except other galaxies. There's no way we could ever see a reflection off of something outside our galaxy, but we can build up good maps of our galaxy using basic distance measurements to stars. Sure, we can get a better picture of Pluto, but probably not much better from Earth. Maybe one of the satellites we went out past Jupiter is planning to take a shot at it.
 
The New Horizons spacecraft is en route to Pluto right now, and will make its closest approach on July 14, 2015.

Earth-based (or earth orbiting) resolution is limited by the wavelength of light and the aperture of the telescope, an effect known as the Dawes' Limit. This effect can be overcome by an approach called aperture synthesis imaging, which uses an array of multiple telescopes. However, there are currently no plans to put such an array into orbit, so New Horizons will be our first good look at the dwarf planet.

As for a face-on photo of the galaxy, it ain't gonna happen. Our galaxy is 100,000 light years across, so even if we somehow miraculously poofed a spacecraft in position to take that picture, the transmission wouldn't reach us for at least 60,000 years.
