So, there’s this rock — it’s about a mile across, OK? And it’s zipping past at ... I dunno ... a couple thousand miles an hour or something. Anyway, that doesn’t matter. The thing is, I want you reach out — and grab that bad boy!! You with me? Just — grab it!! And we’ll all be rich!

What happens when one of these nearby asteroids’ orbital path is affected by man’s influence and collides with the Earth? Who pays?

Maybe not colliding now, but say in 80 years or 250 or whatever.

No Kidding! Can't even get these idiots to drill in the gulf and on the continental shelf and they are going to mine an asteroid. More like a hemorrhoid!
