Why are we talking about mining Asteroid belt? We have asteroids in our own orbital path to exploit. We have a second place to put a life capsule in case earth is hit by a comet (during the next 4000 years of stable orbit). Why is this not a NASA goal? It's right in front of us. To get to any of them, you only need to accelerate a craft. To get home you simply jump off counter rotation and wait for earth to catch up in sixty days. To mine the thing you just nudge the material back toward us.
Else some doomsday mad man could send debris of the orbital back accelerated (relativistically) at us. Of all the crazy conspiracy theories, this one gets no coverage?
