NASA to lasso asteroid
« on: May 23, 2013, 11:45:12 AM »
I hope that they salvage some video from this venture. Probably can do it for next to nothing.

Get real NASA, and exactly whose space ship are you planning to rent in order to do this?
The Star Ship Enterprise?  ::)

So lets make sure I have this right........... They are going to latch on to and asteroid (weighing much more than a space ship) in the vacum of space where there is little or no friction/drag, attempt to stop then drag it back toward the moon, where they will have to stop it, again in a vacum, before it crashes into the moon or earth?  Sounds like a perfect redneck plan to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aparently none of these guys have ever been to a rodeo.................

I imagine it to be similar to the caveman lassoing the mastodon in the movie "10000 BC.  A mistake they might not be able to let go of. ear

Pie in the sky no pun intended. What is NASA anymore other than a teaching aid?
French Guiana launches more rockets than we do and for a healthy profit margin.
