Asteroid retrieval by rotary rocket, by Jerome Pearson

I'm not, as yet, ready to support any asteroid retrieval.

Every asteroid is different in size and mass and they're not perfect
spheres, cubes or anything shape-specific.

A multiple number of rockets would needed. You not only have to move it,
you have to be able to manuever, slow it down, and, if desired, stop the
damn thing.

I suggest we take what we can carry within a window of 60 days or so at
first.

Any retrieval of entire asteroids can wait.

They're not going anywhere.
