How to Colonize an Asteroid
Robots are tools which we will use to perform many dangerous tasks in space. Since we will have a limited number of people in the first group to go to an asteroid, it will be necessary to bring many robots to help with the manual labor. In addition, we can send telerobotic probes ahead of us to the asteroids to prospect for our home, and we can use them to begin the assembly of our colony ship in earth orbit.
