Asteroid Mining: focus: freezing injected liquid method

[tahanson43206]

Many ideas for harvest material form asteroids and comets have been proposed.

There is a related field of inquiry around the problem of moving a rubble pile asteroid so that it does not collide with Earth (or any other Solar System object that humans might wish to remain undisturbed).

As it happens, a member of the Knowledge community (Dave Z) has introduced a possible harvesting method I have not seen before, and this topic provides a place for Dave Z and for any other Knowledge community member to build up a set of posts to support the idea, and to guide future asteroid miners and planetary defense workers to achieve success.

This post is reserved for an index to posts that Knowledge community members may contribute over time.

My interest and objective for this topic is to provide a useful guide for future asteroid miners and planetary defense workers.
