The 7th grader thing is obviously so they can introduce a letter from a young "Jim Kirk" sometime. Much worse is the assumption that there would be gravity on a comet only a tiny fraction as massive as the Earth. It's bad enough when they just assume it, as done on DS9 a few times, but here it was a pivotal plot point. At least in "Armageddon" they bothered to fake it with "gravity simulator jets."
