If it could parked with the Trojans (the asteroids dubbed "Trojans"), that would be kinda cool. Same goes for the others that run a little close. OTOH, as long as these things are known, and tracked, and are not a threat, the priority can remain to identify and characterize those currently unknown. Someday, assaying them and exploiting their mineral content will be done. :')

If placed in a Lagrange point near the moon L4 or L5, our local equivalent of Trojan points, it would stay put more or less, and please the survivors of the L5 Society.
