Loving the asteroids! One thing I noticed was that the physics of landing on an asteroid is a bit.. strange.
It seems that even if you match the velocity of the asteroid, as soon as you enter the 'atmosphere'/gravity well of it your speed relative to the asteroid changes instantly. The result is you end up going from -slowly trailing behind the asteroid at roughly the same speed- to -suddenly zooming past it at 3500m/s-.
If you are not holding down the brakes preemptively you will zoom right past. I don't know if that is something that could be tweaked but thought it worth mentioning!
