Not even that. According to the article it’s a great research opportunity. Just there is a tiny chance human space debris might hit the asteroid and inconvenience them in their research of the asteroid
As it skims within a cooee of Earth, our planet’s gravity will tug on it strongly enough to alter its spin, potentially trigger landslides and even asteroid quakes, and perhaps reveal what’s hidden beneath its surface. Two spacecraft – ESA’s RAMSES mission and NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX – plan to watch the encounter unfold in unprecedented detail.
And there was actual interesting science to put in the headline!
