The answer progresses from raising and lowering the Eartth's orbit by slingshotting asteroids past, to making the asteroid a cycler that steals from Mercury to feed the Earth.
So my question is -- can the asteroid be a gigantic honky-tonk roadhouse? |
If it's mass is comparable to the illustrated asteroid, nothing in the math would preclude it's use.
The cost of launching it into orbit, and matching an asteroid's velocity might constrain it's use, on an economic level though.
