Re: Ridiculous
"Come up with a technology to counteract that and then you can then consider settling the smaller bodies."
That's easy enough; Use nuclear rockets to increase the spin of small bodies, then simulate gravity using the centrifugal force generated. It does mean hollowing the things out and living on the inside, but that's probably a good idea anyway given the lack of atmospheric and magnetospheric radiation protection on an asteroid.
