The US space agency is planning for a robotic spaceship to capture a small asteroid and park it near the moon for astronauts to explore, a top senator disclosed Friday.
Comment:

It will probably be a make work type project that will be used to justify spending money on the big rocket to nowhere.  In order to reduce costs, the agency should contract it out.  Most likely, SpaceX rockets could do a manned mission much more cheaply than the big dumb rocket the agency is building.
