The sequels started to violate their own internal logic which is just part of the reason why they sucked so hard, but the original trilogy is remarkably consistent in its implausibility.

I don’t know much about asteroids, other than roughly where they are in the Solar System. Certainly the idea of chases through densely-packed asteroid fields is fantasy (but fun!).
