Meteors aren't rocks. They're pure energy. They only become "matter" when they enter the earth grid which an artificial grid around earth that cuts us off from the astral realm which earth secretly floats within and is not separate from.

Physically impossible to do more than nudge an asteroid without super advanced technology. Also asteroid mining sucks, even a metallic asteroid is only a few ppm gold or platinum or what not which is well below most mines on Earth.

it's not physically impossible at all

You don't even need anything significant, you just attach a solar sail to one, angled appropriately, and let time do the rest

not only not physically impossible but actually very easy to do

They intentionally avoid exploiting space rocks because of that. The same people who can fund space mining would lose out from space mining devaluing their own wealth.
That's capitalism baby. artificial scarcity to permanently keep supply below demand.

>Physically impossible to do more than nudge an asteroid without super advanced technology
We literally have the technology now faggot, the only reason it's not used is because of Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty which essentially eliminates the only technology capable of achieving exactly this (Nuclear Propulsion) and the goddamn commie Outer Space Treaty of 1967 which bans states from claiming sovereignty over or exploiting celestial bodies like 16 Psyche

>Physically impossible to do more than nudge
1 degree of course correction over 1,000 miles alters the target destination by 17.5 miles.
Its actually common for meteors to pass between the earth and the moon.
You can do multiple course corrections over the million upon millions of miles of flight path and use other stellar bodies for gravity assist.
For objects that are in orbit around the sun (like Haley's comet) you can alter its course a little by little over hundreds of years even

Realistically, it's going to be relatively poor people who are racing towards it, they probably won't mine it, but they will colonize it and hold shares on it without even bringing it to earth, as a future investment. Earth can't do jack once they are there to stop them from claiming it unless they go there themselves.
>>
>>540200904
> brings in an asteroid
Not going to happen anytime soon.
If the value of gold plummets due to abundance, the whole insanely expensive project could not be economically justified. Global economy is not flagging because Gold is rare.

>using an orion drive to accurately steer an amorphous cloud of gravel into orbit without accidentally a whole continent
Yeah, okay buddy. Whatever you say.

>>540202016
Gold is a bad investment once people advance to get more of it, matter of fact physical assets of any kind will never hold value if humans expand into space since there will just flat out be almost unlimited resources. With AI and technology, things will advance at an even faster pace. Cloning humans on other planets could be possible within generations or semi immorality.

The solution is simple, we stop all technology advancement, we create an AI that hunts humans down. Yes we will eventually all die out, but the richest of the rich will get to live in a nicer cave bunker than everyone else.

Asteroids are loose blobs of gravel and metal. You can't just put a rocket on one and move it. It would be like trying to carry sand in your arms.
>>
>>540200904
No because space is fake as fuck. You can't leave earth orbit.
>>
>>540200904
Cool but this isn't something to worry about in our lifetimes.

We may see asteroid mining as a novelty, but we'll never see it done profitably. An ounce of gold is $4k. That's $120m per metric tonne.

Sending a 25 tonne spaceship into orbit costs at least $100m dollars. This doesn't include the price of the spaceship itself. The idea of a 25 tonne spaceship having 8km/s of delta v for a round trip to psyche - the return trip encumbered with tonnes of gold in the cargo - is absolutely laughable. Even if you broke the laws of physics and created a science fiction spaceship, loaded it up with 25 tonnes of gold ($3b), it wouldn't come close to paying for the price of the mission.

Anyone selling these stories to you is lying, and wants your money.

So? If they bring that amount of material wealth, we will all be rich in short order. A rising tide lifts all boats. Not just the gold, but all the other materials on that asteroid would drive down prices and reallocate economic investment away from mining to what are now more productive areas.

The amount of fuel it would take to move that much gold is absurd. The cost of getting that much fuel clear out to the asteroid and then pushing the gold back to earth would make it not worth the cost.
