You can't even mine an asteroid. End of that conversation right there.

Not with that attitude.

We could easily place landmines on an asteroid.

There's no land on asteroids. Please think.

Use your space noodle. You can land on a giant rock hurtling through space

You said it yourself. It's ROCK, not LAND. You can only rock on it.

Most asteroids are barely held together dust and rocks, not solid monoliths like most people think.
