Apparently, the Chinese have also been pondering the idea of capturing an Asteroid and putting into Earth orbit. I see it as inevitable and it would prepare us for future trips to asteroids and near-earth objects.

Capturing Apophis - Futurist's Dream or Just Crazy Talk
We live in a world of endless possibilities. It's unfortunate that evil and greed rule the world, and it's sad that we have to put up with it. That limitless region of the human psyche is undoubtedly suppressed and not fully matured.
The future of spaceflight will be riddled with challenges never seen before, but I know we can overcome because we already have done so much. If we can break the chains of oppression, then we can see the opportunities before us. Like capturing a freaking asteroid.
Apophis should be making it's approach in 2029 and then again in 2036. Russian scientists say it will hit us, and NASA + friends are saying the Russians are full of hot air. Another article. I say that's perfect! We should be preparing for it NOW, but I'm sure the globalists already are.
I've heard all the theories... let's blow it up!... no no no let's move it out of the way!... no let's take it for our own for research and mining. Nudge it into an orbit around the sun that is close to our home world. Discovering new materials and technologies that are capable of bringing mankind permanently into space is what we were put here for.
If we are to expand in our own solar system, then we must have the ability to mine and refine raw materials like iron and other metals in space. The manufacture of space ferrying equipment in our solar system is imperative for our future exploration and population plans.
There have been people that have told me that bringing such a huge object so close to our planet will ultimately change the world we live in because we know that large bodies of mass can affect our weather, oceans, and climate - like the Moon. Well, while this may be true, Apophis will be coming close to us anyways. So if the threat is already there, then why are we worried about moving out even farther in a stable orbit that man and machine can reach with ease?
It's a conundrum of sorts because we don't want to destroy mankind, but we inevitably want to see the human race flourish. Going into space to explore and populate, permanently, should be our goal regardless of the risks involved.
I see staying on this planet as even more riskier, not just to humans, but to the entire Earth. I am more than happy to sacrifice myself to be the first person to orbit and land on a near-Earth object. Although, I can see a future of unmanned space systems for at least a half to a two-thirds of the next century before we can bring more people into space to live.
Until next time, dreamers, keep looking to the sky.
