This might be a stupid question and if so, my apologies, but one thing that constantly pops to my mind in this kind of post is: Won't bringing significant amounts of extraterrestrial matter to earth impact a shift in the Earth's trajectory around the Sun?
Of course what could constitute a "significant amount" might be beyond the practicality of human consumption but worth a thought.
