  "Mining the Moon" as in digging holes there is not the same as picking up the pieces of a crashed metal mountain. Anyway, forget that. Put the asteroid in Earth's orbit and work from there. What about the value of a new moon that could be used as a gigantic station?

    Char doesn't need any more things to send crashing into Earth.
