Asteroid Missions


Recommended Posts

With all the talk in the news of the United Nations creating a plan to deflect asteroids. I was thinking there should an asteroid belt out in deep space, this would lead to random mission pop ups of an incoming asteroids that have been knocked out of the belt and on an impact course for the planet.

The mission put a rocket / rockets into orbit and change the course of the incoming asteroids to save Kerbalkind. I think it would lead to orbiting stations ready to go intercept an incoming asteroid and and change there orbit. If you good you could put the asteroid into a stable orbit and mine it for resources to return back to Kerbal. (once mining is incorporated into the full non-addon game) If the asteroid is smaller than a certain size you could have it "loose mass" as the mining operation takes place, less mass means less gravity making it harder for you to land / mine on the next trip, but easier to change its orbit / trajectory.
