Easier said than done... You have to know the missile is on its way just to
try and outrun it...
Which is the hardest part of actually evading a missile. It may take 20
seconds to reach you, but as long as you don't know it's coming you won't
try and evade it (as I'm always trying to tell my new-found players...)

This would also be possible, if you again know the missile is coming, and
have both the nerves and reflexes to wait for it to just about strike... And
even then, I'd guess only aircraft would be fast enough to try this sort of
stunt (though on second thoughts... they're probably not maneuverable
enough. Helicopters would probably be your best bet :)
