  NASA Plans To "Lasso" Asteroid and Turn It Into Space Station - NASA scientists are planning to capture a 500 ton asteroid, relocate it and turn it into a space station for astronauts to refuel on their way to Mars...within 10-12 years. The technology would also open up the possibility of mining other asteroids for their metals and minerals. (Slashdot; December 24, 2012)
