Wish I had the time and a telescope to try to see it, I think that would be really cool.

You won't need a telescope, just binoculars typically for such a near-earth object.

In the article they say you will need at least a 6 inch telescope, but I have no idea what that means.

Meh, it depends on so many factors, such as the type of telescope. 6 inches is the diameter of the telescope, but if it is designed differently from a Newtonian style telescope, then the size differs. Binoculaurs should still be adequate, IMO.
