Just watched the "what if the earth had no moon" program on the History Channel and began to wonder if it would be possible some time in the not too distant future to nudge one of the larger asteroids like Ceres into a permanent orbit around Mars. The idea being to stabilize Mars rotational wobble and maybe even stir up some tectonic activity. Or is the axis tilt variation so slow that there would be very little benefit in doing such a thing to help establish a long term human presence on the red planet?
