    Here's an interesting place where the possibility of this kind of thing can be discussed in great detail:http://www.bautforum.com/
    Thinking caps......ON!!!:)

    I think, given our current tech, that it would take way too long to either move an asteroid to a more local orbit to be mined, or just get there and back with the spoils from the dig. Time is money in this case.
    So we need to come up with a faster, more powerful type of propulsion. And maybe work on long term shielding for the crew. Stepping stones on the journey to much longer trips through space.

    But for now it will remain a dream. Grrr....
