Alright, if you visit the official NASA site, it proclaims that space shuttles are built to withstand impact from debris, and can survive impacts from objects of less then 10 cm in diameter.

They also track and use sensors to detect major pieces of debris those larger then 10 cm in diamter, and the space shuttle is programmed to automatically maneuver out of the way if the chance of collision is greater then 1 in 10,000.

Now turn that around and imagine doing that type of maneuvering with a field of mines. Not to mention that mines are built to detonate and are not built to take repeated abuse from flinging objects.

Edit: Mua...I'm forgetful...but...

How exactly would redirecting a 400-lb safe matter in a mine field? Let's not forget that it wouldn't just be one 400-lb safe, there are thousands and thousands of these little things hurtling around.
