A reason to visit 2002 AA 29

There might be a good reason to visit 2002 AA 29 !

According to the latest theory, the moon was formed from the collision with a Mars like body.

This took place 4.52 Billion years ago. This was long after Earth's formation so why didn't it happen earlier?

That world had to be in one of the Earth-Sun Lagrange points (4 or 5) and through multiple collisions, it lost its stable point and began to drif towards Earth and....WHAM!! Well, that's only a theory.

One way to find out is to collect samples from 2002 AA 29, and compare with the Moon and the Earth. Scientists believe that this asteroid also came from one of the Lagrange points.
