Not sure it is a very wise choice to be fiddling with near earth asteroids...unless it is with the intent to drop one on Mecca or Washington D.C.
If I understand correctly this is looking at asteroids with similar velocities as earth when they’re close?
just ask the Jupiter Mining Company. ask for Dave Lister
I was just thinking that if we could bring the asteroids down to Earth, we could start expanding our land area. Use them to fill up the oceans and make more land. We could build skyscrapers on top of them, like we do in Manhattan.
