I once saw some footage, taken from inside the Space Shuttle, of a paint chip impacting the cockpit canopy. It hit almost like a bullet- it was *most* impressive.

It provided a memorable demonstration of the extremes of Newtonian physics in action. An object doesn't have to have a lot of mass- if it's moving fast enough- to be dangerous.
