fuck you for mentioning that
the entire fucking project was designed from the ground up to be as fucking worthless as possible
Most of the fucking design was outdated and obsolete before they even started pouring concrete for fucks sake
they could have given the money to literally ANYONE ELSE and it would have been done faster and have actually fucking achieved something

I think you're being retarded on purpose

You don't need to stop the asteroid, if anything it would be in your best interests to not do so
You do not need to bring completely new equipment every time you want a bit of ore, it is left there and continuously extracts minerals for use
and there's thousands upon thousands of asteroids that do not fling off into the void, but instead stay quite close to the earth's orbit, where extraction would be very easy to do

this wonderful website catalogs quite a few asteroids, and shows estimates of their value and potential profit based on that value as a bonus

There's a lot more to this sort of thing than you think, and the problems you believe exist aren't really there
