According to researchers from the Keck Institute for Space Studies in California, NASA is reportedly considering a plan to capture a near-Earth asteroid and have it dragged into our moon's orbit. The asteroid is named 1999 AO10, and it reportedly weights 1.1 million-pounds. To make that happen, NASA will need to build a robotic spacecraft that is capable of dragging the said asteroid. 1999 AO10 has been reportedly chosen because of its scientific value and its near-Earth distance.
