After ten in game years, I finally hauled a class E asteroid into Kerbin. I had to refuel using other crafts form nearby planets. I had to use my Dres base, my Duna base, and my Minmus base. I don't know if you can mine asteroids? I noticed that it said (ore: -----%). So how would I mine it? I mean I cant land on it. So how do I deploy a drill? I have a dozen probes around a the asteroid already.

Ive run into a curious issue with my asteroid mining endevours. I latched onto a class c with 161 tons of resources. Deployed my drillomatic jr ensured my full sized isru was turned off then watched as i only filled my empty ore tank to 634 units. Where did all those resources go? How do I not waste so much? I only mined 6 tons of ore from a 161 ton resource asteroid. Whats up with that?
