Don’t. The likely political solution would likely involve cutting many corners.

Like…instead of somehow getting to the asteroid, mining it, and sending back raw ore, refined metas or finished parts & products, they’ll decide to duct-tape some rockets on it and crash it in Utah to mine it down here.

And you know how THAT would work out for Earth…

Yeah I couldnt do it. I've been in that role a few times, and its my personal hell.

Im just more of an organize work lists then do them myself type.

It can't be that hard. There are more people alive today than have ever died.

I would have used the trailer for "Idiocracy", but there's no comet in it.
