Help with Art

Any Creationist Astronomy BUffs here?
Would this be a place to get some help on Astronomy? I am working on a Sci-fi story involving a Mars Mission and Mining an asteroid similar to Ceres. It is smaller, but still ice covered with a core of other material.

I also want to use it as a LITERARY device. I want to avoid the triteness and twisting incongruities of time-machines, or warp speed, or worm holes.

There will be no aliens in the story and it is set in 2050, which would possibly be in my lifetime.

I don't know if you can get help here, but what kind of help are you intereseted in exactly?

Where is the asteroid located?

To avoid the triteness of the things you mentioned, I would think simply creating some alternative means of propulsion should do it, you know, something other than chemical combustion. Depends how "true-to-life" you wish to keep it.

You do not need much astronomy if only Mars and Ceres are in the world of your story. I don't think we have any astronomer in this forum, but I am a geologist if it can be of any use.
