nano robots send them to mine asteroid belt or bring some pieces closer to mine . there could be another element out there if the periodic table has more room. :) Then we may be able to advance our engineering some more.

Thank you David Morrison for protecting us from asteroid and comet impacts.No pressure there. man what a hard job this is. can we even mount any defensive against such huge objects?

thats been done in numerous scifi books I've read and I assume in a multitude that I haven't

alright thanks just what i was looking for. man sounds like a pretty good idea to land on them. They just might be able to hitch a ride with it. i would go with robots for that one. A man-base would be sweet untill it ran into something.

was just thinking if we put nano bots on an asteroid we could put rockets on it and use it to deflect incoming asteroids... make an asteroid gun!

if there is any way to safely bring an asteroid closer to earth.

I would need to look up the data, but recently they had a "robot" if you will, land on an asteroid already. Not to mention the Stardust project which was incredibly successful.

thanks :) well that is a good start. looks like we have long way to go still. i hope things get easier for us soon. we are overdue a break in space exploration.
