Bodies in space have very high velocities. The orbital velocity of Earth
around the Sun is 29.8 Km/s. Capture of asteroids becomes economical, in
comparison with operations from the moon only if the operation can be
completed with a delta v budget of 2.4 Km/s (which is the escape velocity
from the Moon).
