Since the formation of Planetary Resources, our primary goal has been to build technology enabling us to prospect and mine asteroids.

Did you read, the goal is to mine Asteroids. That is a worry. Bring them into our proximity and send bits down, Hard enough to get into space, track an asteroid, capture it and tow it into a orbit so a team of space walkers can chew it up. They have $1million+pledges. They will need a few billion more and a more efficient launch system. It may be possible one day but don't hold your breath.
Sounds like a guy here who wanted to bring Icebergs from Antarctica to Sydney to supply freshwater.
The photo thing I could set that up using NASA photos. Galloping Gumdrops Batman we have liftoff.
