Several have suggested, and of course I have renewed my own long-standing proposal, to capture this asteroid and do something useful with the material.

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. :')

Make a darn fine paperweight,too, I'd assume.
