But they might drop a big rock on it.  

The original plan, which was revealed in April 2013, called for dragging an intact small space rock into orbit around the moon, where it would be visited by astronauts, perhaps as early as 2021. But NASA officials announced last Wednesday (March 25) that the mission will instead pluck a boulder off a much larger asteroid, and that the manned inspection in lunar orbit will likely come in 2025.

I guess the PLAN is to put it in lunar orbit, but you never know about those English versus SI units screw ups.  I guess I can imagine ways this could go wrong.  

On the plus side, with the right asteroid, the metals could be valuable.

So, do all posted links automatically go to the "Never gonna give you up" video on Youtube?

Only the ones that rickroll you.

But thanks for asking - now we're going to see The Big Z, that lousy singer guy, and probably lots of videos of lots of gold lame` spandex.

stay safe.

If they miscalculate badly enough they could drop it on earth.

I don't worry about that.  Bruce Willis and a team of oil rig guys are on call to take care of that one.  Maybe they can convince Sean Penn to stay behind to set off the nuke.
