Anyone know what a good time to look at it will be in NZ/Australia?

man thats pretty close for an asteroid... I just wish we had really good astronavigation vehicles and perhaps motors.. it would be nice to swing that sucker into orbit and study it, bang it with geology hammers etc... and maybe even mine it....

controlling its orbit is the big deal...

half a click of rock is not going to 'play nice'...

Knowing our luck, if we tried that we'd mix up metric and standard and send it crashing into the earth. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]
