re: Maybe Osama is praying that it will enter the gravitational 'keyhole'....
I posted it out of contempt for Osama, knowing

get his hands on nor manipulate to his own ends.
However....I wonder if somewhere in the future
some malignant individual will indeed divert an asteroid
for diabolical purposes?
Science fiction speculation.
