If they can get that Orion Lite idea turned into reality

Which can apparently be placed atop a Falcon 9 rocket, and if nothing
goes terribly wrong, then maybe....

Personally I think there should be a Space Race to the planetoids where
nations, companies, and really rich individuals can stake a claim on the
various space rocks out there. It will serve a practical business purpose,
it will get many planetoids studied scientifically (gotta know what they
are made of, right?), and get a foothold out there on worldlets which
are easy to land and take off from.

Because some day, those are going to become the most valuable pieces
of real estate in the Sol system.
