Then astronauts would explore it in 2021. If we were to start today could we even get back to orbit by 2021 without hitching a ride from the Russians?

An Islamoroid? I didn’t know we had any of those. Well, if NASA can make if feel good about itself, I’m probably all for it too.

The money would be used to find the right small asteroid. I wish Ears would leave science to the professionals and stop interjecting his 99 IQ into the mix.
To minimize the risk, this asteroid they're talking about had better be smaller than the one that just struck Russia last month (that baby could've conceivably taken out a large city, had the parameters been a little different), in which case, a hundred million bucks seems excessive.
Better to leave it where it is, imo, and send a robotic probe to it, than bring it back here. Then, if it's found to have lots of platinum, gold, rubies, whatever, let the robots mine it in place and bring the good stuff back, while leaving the worthless stuff where it is.

President Barack Obama and NASA are planning for a robotic spaceship to lasso a small asteroid and park it near the moon...
And yet the White House remains closed to school kids.

If they can do this, maybe they should bring an asteroid to earth to keep Guam from tipping over.

Didn’t the Russians, just last month, beat us with their retrieving a space rock.
Hopefully, “Olde Turkey Neck” Billy Nelson’s NASA gets it right.

Senator: NASA to lasso asteroid, bring it closer...If they want to piss away money, why not just pile it up in a parking lot and set a match to it? Rediculous!!!

A big space project might be what we need to get our culture out of its slump. It could move our focus from inward to outward, where it belongs.
It would give young people something to focus on instead of their genitalia. It would redeem our heritage as explorers and developers.
Senator Bill Nelson may be wrong on a lot of things, but he’s not wrong on this.
