Asteroid Capture

I don't know how generous 0.7 km/s is for an already Earth bound asteroid getting nudged into our 'perfect' slot, maybe its generous and it isn't workable or maybe its conservative and we'll need to move it less. I very much agree we need someone to do real numbers.

Again though the question is how do we (you, me and others here) advance the ball on space settlement? If we pick cheaper access to space how do we do it? Buy shares of SpaceX or Bigelow? Talk to congressman? Work on subsystems that will be needed in the short term? Give money to space organisations, National Space Society, etc.?
