Since it’s flying so close to Earth wouldn’t this be a good training exercise to intercept it with two space shuttles, land, drill a hole to 800’ and load it with a nuke. Just in case the real thing happens in the future?
Oh, wait, the Shuttles are retired, never mind.
The shuttles struggle to get 400 miles up, about the distance from WDC to Boston.
Given ten years in a crash program and a few billion dolars, they could maybe make mods to allow a shuttle to reach geosync orbit, about 29,000 miles.
Reaching out to 180,000 mi is half the battle, being able to maneuver and match velocities with something going 10,000 kpm is another. We do not have the capabilities to do that and I think it would take us a long long time to develop.
Apollo was simpler, an orbit-to-orbit mission. Twelve years from Sputnik to the Moon. They did not have to catch up to a rock then slow down to match speed, then re-accelerate to come home, and decel when they get back.
There is a novel, “Titan”, by Steven Baxter, in which NASA took a shuttle and modded it for an orbit-to-orbit mission to Titan. The whole project took decades iirc, and was pretty plausible. They cobbled everything together from available stuff and came up with a one-way mission, it was the last space mission ever from Earth.
