They should capture this astroid

[jgsketch]

By the year this astroid comes close to earth, we should capture it and practice mining techniques on it. Just a thought. http://www.space.com/spacewatch/050204_2004_mn4.html

It's going to be so close it would be a shame not to send a probe, take a sample of it. Would it be possible to land on it with it's velocity relaitive to the earth and an acceleration due to gravity of 0.00012 m/s^2.<br />

Ill put a lander on it, i'll buy a BFR from SpaceX with a small base. I'll live on the roid and journey through space, cya!
