[meteorite-list] A Plan To Place An Asteroid In Earth Orbit

[MexicoDoug]

Hi Bernd, Marcin, Listees -

Hmmmm ...  maybe that "little nudge" they describe can be controlled by 
a horse's hair and we can call the mission 'Damocles'!

There are no interplanetary driver licences required nor parking permit 
bureau to issue a parking citation (except a citation of the scientific 
kind) ... so complaining about how the Chinese drive their rocket ships 
and cargo seems a bit futile !

Kindest wishes
Doug

"Interesting idea. What could possibly go wrong?"

What if the nudge is a little bit too strong?
What if the Moon interferes?

What if this NEO is thus sent hurtling toward planet Earth?

- utter devestation
- millions of people killed
- wildfires
- tsunamis
- earthquakes
- tons and tons of material ejected into the atmosphere
- etc., etc.

Bernd
