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?
