If this was the For All Mankind timeline we'd be capturing and mining Apophis.
As this is our timeline, Oligarchs are probably plotting to drop the rock "on the Poors, of whom there are too many"

20,000km is pretty fucking close for an asteroid, but still far away enough that Starlink pollution may hamper observation, fucking streaks of Elon's piss....

'God of Chaos' asteroid Apophis will blaze across the sky on April 13, 2029 — here's why this once-in-a-lifetime event is worth traveling for

A rare stargazing spectacle will unfold on Friday, April 13, 2029, as the asteroid Apophis passes closer than satellites over Europe and Africa.

Some exciting Science to be done when Apophis visits, way out of reach of the Starlinks

I hope there are dashboards for the missions, I liked those with Artemis!
