If there were a launch from Vandenberg in the hours of darkness, everybody in L.A. would see it

OK - an idea for a cool space mission.

Land a craft on a similar asteroid (this one would have been ideal). Get a free ride around the solar system taking in the sights. This thing seems to be moving very fast.
