Does it have the delta v and structural strength for a maneuver like that in its current configuration? I agree it would be cool to put it in deep freeze for a few thousand years.

Structural strength shouldn't be an issue, but it doesn't have the delta-v. They would probably need to find a way to attach some ion engine tug to it.
