To what end? Certainly, there is nothing to be found on asteroids that can't
be obtained far cheaper on Earth.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Capturing asteroids in orbit
I wonder if it would possible to send some machines to the asteroid belt to
capture some whole asteroids and bring them to Earth? Or would they be
drifting too quickly in their orbits to capture with the current
technology? Also would decent-sized samples from such captures be available
to collectors?
