Chinese Want To Capture an Asteroid

geekmansworld writes "The Chinese want to capture an asteroid into earth's orbit and mine it. From the article: 'At first glance, nudging an asteroid closer to Earth seems like one of those "what could possible go wrong" scenarios that we generally try and avoid, and for good reason: large asteroid impacts are bad times. The Chinese, though, seem fairly optimistic that they could tweak the orbit of a near-Earth asteroid by just enough (a change in velocity of only about 1,300 feet-per-second or so) to get it to temporarily enter Earth orbit at about twice the distance as the Moon.'"

Re:China, don't get ahead of yourself.

You think that is a question? The war will be with the US, and the US will start it, in a last desperate attempt to assert their self-assigned role of global domination. Fits right in with the American history of starting wars for no good reason, just to distract from internal problems. And the internal problems are getting bigger.
