Chinese Want to Place an Asteroid in Earth Orbit and Mine It – “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?”

Most of the discussion about near Earth asteroids focuses on whether they represent a threat to Earth and what to do take if they turn out to be heading our way.

But today, Hexi Baoyin and pals at Tsinghua University in Beijing offer a different take. The question they ask is how to place an asteroid in orbit around the Earth.

Their conclusion is a little surprising. They say it’s relatively straightforward to nudge a small asteroid in our direction. They’ve even discovered a number of candidates nearby that we might want to bring as little closer.

…

A particularly good candidate is a 10-meter object called 2008EA9 which will pass within a million kilometres or so of Earth in 2049. 2008EA9 has a very similar orbital velocity as Earth’s. Baoyin and co calculate that it could be fired into Earth orbit by changing its velocity by 410 metres per second. That’s tiny.

This nudge should place the asteroid in an orbit at about twice the distance of the Moon. From there it can be studied and mined, they say.

So Comet Elinen and the Dark Star Nibiru are fake? Who made this shit up? Chinese make our soup bowls and most of the garbage on earth. Look at the mess in the Yanzee River ,assholes.
The Chinese are known for their engineering prowess I’m sure everything will be fine. Dose anyone know where I can buy a non Chinese made can opener I need one that will last a 3 year winter 😉
This would be a great idea, if China the continent would be in existance in 2049 nut the fact is that the Chinkers will be underwater long before than.

Meanwhile Global weather wars rage. Goodbye NY.
The gov’ts have the technology now to go out and harvest an asteroid and steer it back here and slam it into the planet.
Since it doesn’t make economic sense to do that, what’s the real reason?
