Space kinds of looks like sea ( danger being always present and you're alone to face it) but it's also very different for the following reason: > Viewed like that, asteroids are kinda like islands, where some fresh fruit, timber etc may be found. Adventurers may like it & hang there while the ship sails on. They are very much unlike islands: on an island humans get back to there land-dweller lifestyle, they can get food, fresh, water materials and they are safe from the danger of the sea. An asteroid offers none of that, you cannot just get spare parts on the asteroid, nor food and it's as dangerous as before (void, radiations). In fact, except for dedicated machines designed to mine them, it's very unlikely anyone ever lands on an asteroid because it gives you practically no benefit over floating in space and is very costly in terms of propulsion (both to land and to leave, because you need to get to the speed of the asteroid and then leave it).
