Just came to think about a short story in Analog 5, 2000. It´s name is Sheena 5, it´s written by stephen Baxter and it´s about an intelligent squid who travels space to catch an asteroid and bring it back to earths orbit. Fascinanting tale.
Someone else who read this tale?

Greetings
Andy

I haven't read it, but it sounds like fun reading! Here's a relevant link with a blurb about it (third story down):
