   I do recall reading a science fiction story about two guys having a fight on   
   the surface of a small asteroid. Bad guy picks up a rock, throws it at the   
   good guy who ducks at the right moment. Action continues until the bad guy is   
   hit on the back of his    
   head by the same rock, one orbit later. Unlucky for him that he threw it at or   
   slightly above orbital velocity.
