An asteroid shares orbit with us. Seems every time we almost catch up to it, it scurries off. Damn asteroids.

Next chance we have to grab it is the 8th. But nooo it'll run from us, then toy with us again in 95 years.

It's not even worth the attempt. It would be vaporized at about 1.6 megatons of energy at the most.

" The team's calculations show that in about 600 years, the asteroid may begin looping around Earth like a tiny, distant quasi-moon. "The asteroid will appear to orbit the Earth at that time, but in fact it will be too far away to be considered a true satellite of our planet," Chodas said. "Our calculations indicate the space rock will circle the Earth as a quasi-satellite for about 40 years before resuming its horseshoe orbital pattern." "

Wish I could see that.

Well, we'd probably have to use our biggest nuke to do any damage. You know, firecracker effect and all.

Lets send up a team of yankees who make whitty comments and can drill like they did for oil back home.

Then we can have an overly dramatic climax!!!11!1
