Considering nothing really bad happens within the next 2 decades it could happen sooner, I just don't trust any one country to start shit that could set us back some time, like another war.

Rockets become cheaper.
We learn how to actually mine an asteroid.
Find a way to get it back to earth.
Either lots of small cheap probes to mine, or an extremely large one.
Better propulsion.
