The 50 m space rock is expected to come closer than many satellites, highlighting the growing need to keep watch on hazards from above.

Comment:

This looks like a possible business opportunity for anybody who can get low cost access to space.  Just intercept these space rocks and mine them for whatever they've got.  It seems to me that they may have something valuable inside them.  If nothing else, they can be stopped from reentry and that would be worth something.
