	If you threw yourself into an escape orbit, you'd throw the rock into
an impact orbit.  I think.

	Well, know, that's not quite true.  Snce MV = MV, if the rock was very
large in mass compared with you (or if both you and the rock were in near-escape
orbits), you'd merely throw the rock into a lower orbit.
