The egg heads don't want to put a sail on the asteroid, they want to use the sail to focus sunlight on one spot. The area would heat up and start outgassing. Sounds like a rocket, don't it? The sail and controls wouldn't weigh as much as an Apollo capsule and we wouldn't have to retrieve it. Plus, being unmanned, we could put up a few decades before they're needed.
