| Senator says NASA to capture asteroid, park near moon »www.usatoday.com/story/news/nati···2057879/
quote:
NASA is planning for a robotic spaceship to lasso a small asteroid and park it near the moon for astronauts to explore, a top senator revealed Friday.
The robotic ship would capture the 500-ton 25-foot asteroid in 2019. Then using an Orion space capsule, now being developed, a crew of about four astronauts would nuzzle up next to the rock in 2021 for spacewalking exploration, according to a government document obtained by The Associated Press.
I hope NASA has studied the Hollywood film archives. As there are several movies about the possibilities of things that could go wrong when man mets asteroid.
Though, IMO, it's pretty cool when real life imitates art.
