I actually wonder if there are any companies interested in altering an asteroid's orbit such that it does a moon flyby into a free capture orbit. It's probably the most fuel efficient way to pull an asteroid into Earth's orbit and the result would provide a close by asteroid to practice mining and refining material from.
