I wonder what will happen when this thing is close by. Would something like this invoke enough interest to study it more closely ... possibly catch up to it? Maybe test out how hard it is to blow one of these things up or put a detour on it. I say this for 2 reasons

1) What if in the meantime or lattertime ... we discover that there is another asteroid on an actuall collision course with earth (only a matter of time, not a new concept) we need to be able to stop this from happening. Training will be required.

2) Use this as a Universal attempt to train ourselves to work together as 1. (offsetts of this would benefit the Universal consciouss)

(ohh ya, to the good people of the Bad Astronomy folk who don't know me yet .... Greetings)
to the bautforum .... CHEERS
