Armless Amy's Rock Wrestling Challenge

[Whirligig Girl]

Amy Kerman would have been an astronaut. But mishandling of two badly placed girders by VAB staff resulted in poor Amy's arms being tragically torn off. Amy was sad enough to have lost her arms, but when she found that the Kerbal Space Program wouldn't accept her into the astronaut corps, she couldn't be sadder.

So the KSP gave her a chance, if only to keep the astronaut complex from being flooded: Design a mission to collect an asteroid without any "arms" and they'd let her into the space program.

Your task: Without using the Advanced Grabbing Unit in any way, bring an asteroid into low orbit around Kerbin.

Hard mode: Take the asteroid from Dres orbit.

Very cool!

Hold my beer.

 

I might get it from Dres because I'm too lazy to wait for a kerbin-intersecting one.

This is the second beer I'm holding.

 

Spoiler for thoughts on how I might do this.

Spoiler

Probably a good way to capture an asteroid is some form of cage around the asteroid, which then is closed off by either having a second half dock to it or with some form of extendable part.

A few questions:

(a) Can I use multiple launches?

(b) Can I borrow some RCS thrusters from SpaceY?
