Looks like our technical jargon scared away the regular posters...

Let's add a little more technical info, maybe a lurker will be interested. Cruithne's orbit, as seen from the earth, is horseshoe-shaped. When it is near the earth, it is at one end or the other of the horseshoe and above one or the other pole. It would be relatively easy to hop over there, and we should do that as soon as possible. If it is carbonaceous chondrite, that means it has everything a base would need, including water. This needs to be checked out.
