Aww, a cute mini-moon is orbiting Earth right now. But like all good things, it too will abandon us at some point

Re: Wouldn't it be great

Does the Ceres-Vesta "Dawn" probe have a museum-quality twin sitting around spare? Could we power her up, plonk her on a rocket and zap her to this new moon of ours?

Hell, I'd volunteer to go on a Soyuz or ESA re-supply rocket without a return ticket, just for the "wheeeee" of it. I'm sure I can be remotely piloted by real geologists, chemists and other actual Scientists so I could do valuable work.

Anyone at NASA, ESA, JAXA or the Indian one reading this?
