Dec 2012 an opportunity?

Provided various predictions about us blowing ourselves to smithereens is wrong, November - December of 2012 could be an opportunity to save our collective asses in 2029 or 2036 (depending on how some folks look at it.) At that time, the Apophis asteroid comes pretty close. (Around 0.112 AU) I think that would be close enough to put a probe on it that could nudge it in our favor. Or at least give us a signal to better track the path. Might be food for thought if any scientist types think it's worth trying.

Take a look at http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2004+MN4&orb=1 and play around while watching the dates. See what you think.

Hey whaddya know, after some more googling this site says the same thing.
