The whole point is that Starship actually allows you to start thinking of the very problems you speak of.

Before you had it, suggesting mining a asteroid was just pointless and insane. Now you can actually think about.

And that is what NASA should do. Now getting stuff to LEO is 'solved' what can you actually do.

Thank you for pointing that out - I just realized that with Starship, we even could start thinking about putting some smaller asteroids out of a potential collision course with it.
