The partial goverment shutdown is caused by the president's unwillingness to sign a bill as well as Congress's inability to pass a bill the president is willing to sign. The defused blame sets the game matrix to a state where the

This is really hard to accurately predict. The average wood structure with concrete foundation lasts 120 years. We have a good understanding of how much CO2 is costs to build an all-concrete structure today, and we have a good understanding

Asteroid mining would require brand new technology. We cannot crash an entire asteroid into Earth's surface, we would need to do zero g mineral processing, regardless of how the minerals are ultimately used. This is a task no one has

While it's a non-trivial amount of delta-v, if the asteroid has a large amount of water then the water already present on the asteroid can be used to generate the delta-v.

The ISS isn't a big enough water market to merit this kind of activity. This might be viable if we had 100x more people in space.
