It would also be neat to have the capacity to push stuff around up there.
If we didn't already have that kind of thing, of course.
Well, we don't.

We have SOME ability to map and track the solar system, but most objects out there are not tracked or trackable, yet. And, we have NO ability yet to move natural objects around. We have the capabiility in the sense that the technology exists where we could develop such a system, but we have no such system now.
You're right of course, we certainly don't have that kind of thing. Nope.
