Yeah, what if it thinks we're going to rape it for its resources and doesn't want to come along quietly?
Or the muslim scientists miscalculate that math thing?

Their insurance will cover that, won’t it?
“what if it thinks we’re going to rape it for its resources”
If we’re going to literally move an asteroid into Earth orbit, d@mn straight we’re going to rape it for its resources. Have you SEEN the stats on composition of those things? like...$100T in gold?
“Or the muslim scientists miscalculate that math thing?”
Out of deference to the perfection of Allah, Muslims will deliberately introduce flaws into their work.
If that’s a single misplaced knot in a fancy rug, fine.
If that’s a single wrong character in an engineering task, multiplied by the number of engineers working on an enormous project, that becomes high odds of catastrophic failure.
Being a tiny bit off when moving an asteroid into geosynchronous orbit, well, not good.
