Wow, this may make the third moon of Earth. I had never heard of the moon "Cruinthe" before.

Cruithne is just another asteroid, but happens to be locked in an orbital resonance with earth. It would be a great place for a scientific base of some kind and could even be mined for aluminum if Alcoa is interested. Its orbit relative to earth is really strange.
