Heck, in 600 years we ought to be able to grab the sucker, pull it 
into geo-synchronous orbit and harvest the metals and silicates off 
the bugger. Then turn it into a giant station/tiny moonlet as a 
micro-gravity research station and manufacturing base for additional 
projects. How I'd love to live to see that stuff.

Sometimes I wish I was a character in an Allen Steele story (one of 
the less weird ones at least).
