I don't look at asteroids as dangers and dumb rocks. They are made out of things that could be useful. Some day we will be mining those flying mountains and building independent cities out of them, perhaps converting some to interstellar ships. The things we might do!

Just posted this to another thread...

Load up Celestia and the data file for this asteroid, set the time back to June 13th and see for yourself how close it came.
