Can you use an asteroid as a spaceship?     eg a "cruiseliner" between earth 
and sun (albeit very expensive)

Could you build an ship in a hollowed-out asteroid and use its own velocity and 
orbit to travel around the earth and the sun?

Where would we find the nearest asteroid that passes between Earth and the sun?

Regards
MW
