Maybe, maybe not.  Saji's comment about debris suggests that the blocks have at least a fair amount of armor on them.  There's a similar impression from the fact that the Ensign's random firing didn't damage the blocks themselves (assuming that was live ammo that her mobile suit's weapon was equipped with).

 

But as long as we're examining the physics...

 

Would acceleration fast enough to keep the blocks in orbit also create "gravity" of its own for the people inside the blocks?

 

 

Actually, a plotline goof did just occur to me...

 

Allelujah got sent into orbit to observe the testing of a new mobile suit.  Presumeably it was the Ensign's suit that was to be observed.  If so, then Allelujah should have already been in his suit when the Ensign went berserk.  Either the script writers goofed on this, the captain didn't get the time of the mobile suit trial right when the mission was assigned, or he was supposed to observe the trials for a different mobile suit.

Of course, you'd also expect that one of those mobile suits applying full thrust to the center of the block would just end up pushing its hands through the hull...
