If there is money to be made from it then it will be done. The material is already in space making it much easier to use on space ports than lifting material out of our gravity.
My question is how do we prevent people from using their space cars from dragging asteroids back to earth and extorting people out of money in exchange for not lobbing the rocks down to the planet? Will we have a space defense force that watches for people doing dumb things?
