NASA MUM on a Manned Mission to an Asteroid

With Bruce Willis no where to be seen and no stirring vocals from the likes of Areosmith, NASA it seems is still looking to put feet on a near by asteroid, according to Dvice.

NASA is planning to reveal details of the asteroid mission this month at a conference in Japan. However some details have leaked by Richard Gray of The Telegraph. Here is an excerpt:

• ....astronauts are being trained to land on an asteroid to explore its surface, search for minerals and even learn the skills they may need to destroy it should one pose a threat to the Earth.

NASA has set a time frame of the end of the next decade for an asteroid rendezvous.
