Late game minerals -- Asteroid redirection/capture

Given the finite resources of the game, we need more long-term source source of minerals -- I would suggest we take a note after Tyson and allow the player to pull down asteroids. Or we could mine them in space, but that's not nearly as fun imho.
I'm imagining a late game rocket that goes out and steers an asteroid to land on the island -- maybe higher tech levels to control the location. Then it could just fall and there'd be a new giant rock of slag and iron (or whatever) and the player can send their excavators out to dig it out.
Maybe there's a ground control (or space observatory or telescope or something) that locates asteroids when given flops, and you get some kind of "20% slag, 50% gravel, 30% copper" that you select, and then a few years later, down it comes!

And the ability to have enough boosters in your spoace station would be awesome, ore lower the amount of boosters needed.
Now we have a cap op 360 boosters, but most astroids need 600+ boosters.
Please fix.
