NASA is Planning to Capture an Asteroid & Put it in Orbit around the Moon Video

NASA is planning a work to redirect an asteroid into orbit about the moon. The space agency has identified a digit of potential asteroid candidates. Once chosen, NASA will launch a robotic mission to visit the asteroid. When this robotic spacecraft arrives at the destined asteroid, it'll gather a multi-ton boulder and forward it toward the moon. A team of astronauts will then visit the boulder in orbit and gather samples to bring back to earth. The Asteroid Redirect Mission [ARM] is put to kick off in early 2020s. It's part of NASA's plan to check and advance technologies required for Mars-mission in the 2030s.
