Be nice if NASA could put a camera on this rock.It could get a free ride on its way out of the solar system.Might have enough gravity to hold camera.Half mile stone could be worth a few bucks in energy on inertia . Trebert


Free ride can be better than free lunch.How much energy would it take to bring this rock to a stop if its going at 25,000 mph,and that's not very fast?
