A human mission to a near Earth asteroid would be scientifically worthwhile, said Chris McKay, deputy scientist in the Constellation science office at the NASA Johnson Space Center. It could be part of an overall program of understanding these objects. Also, it would be useful, instrumentally, in terms of understanding the threat they pose to the Earth.
