I've been wondering for a while now about the viability of asteroid/lunar mining that involves returning the payload of rare earth minerals or titanium in flying wing shaped return vehicles that are wrapped in some sort of mineral that ablates in the atmosphere while absorbing CO2 like this stuff does.

The idea is that we could both eliminate the Earth based pollution associated with mining while sequestering co2 previously emitted by terrestrial mining at the same time.
