I am sitting here racking my brain and I honestly can’t think of one potential issue with going out and steering a 149 mile wide asteroid toward earth. Sounds like a great idea. I’m in.

That’s a pretty small payload. Put it near L1 or L2 Lagrange point, and it’s close enough to mine but not close enough to present a threat to any low-Earth orbit satellites.

It would be little threat to Earth or our moon. We would control the insertion burns, and I can tell you that the math, while insanely complex, is pretty solid.
