Mining CEO: is there a cheaper way to deliver this mineral rich material to the surface of the earth?
Mining scientist: YES! We can redirect the asteroid towards the planet and make it land on the surface!
Mining CEO: how much will this cost?
Mining scientist: probably billions of lives.
Mining CEO: … No no … I mean how much money will this save us and how much money will we make?

We’re going to break the table into two teams: team 1 will research the value of the asteroid for space construction, and team 2 will research the fees we can charge world governments not to accidentally drop the asteroid on their country.
