Wild, Hairy Ass Speculation

As for the title of this post, I talk that way sometimes. For some reason, I like the sound of it.

The speculation is about an idea that keeps rattling inside my brain. This idea of capturing asteroids and bringing them back. Well, it so happens that a few of them each year become temporary moons.  The newest twist on that idea could be that you don't have to go millions of miles to go search for an asteroid.  Some of them come close enough to nudge a little and they will go into permanent orbit around the earth.

After that, you could collect enough of these so that it could amount to a significant mass.  Instead of mining them, just collect them.  Why?  In order to make a moonstalk.  For a moonstalk, you need a lot of mass for an anchor, and them connect that anchor to the surface.  Easy access to the lunar surface.  What a concept!
