In technical term, chemical rockets have low【C16】______ velocity growth, which means that their exhaust velocities are not high enough to【C17】______ very high speed to the rocket. Nuclear rockets,【C18】______ their chemical counterparts, could impart a maximum velocity of【C19】______ about 22 kilometers a second. Such a high velocity would make possible a direct path to Saturn (土星), reducing travel time from about seven years to as【C20】______ as three.

Any good mystery must eventually uncover a villain, and in a recent documentary, "Who Kill

ed the Electric Car？", the filmmakers duly pointed the finger at General Motors. The【C1】______ is not so simple, but there is little doubt that when GM pulled the plug on its EV1 battery-powered car a decade ago, other【C2】______ followed the Giant carmaker's lead.

Together with a big battery pack, this provides a much larger range in all-electric【C10】______ , after which the petrol engine kicks in. GM's car is expected to go around 50 miles (80 km) in all-electric mode，【C11】______ enough for American commuters, who would need to use the 【C12】______ engine on longer trips only. The【C13】______ is that plug-in hybrids need a much larger and more costly battery pack．【C14】______ a Pirus to operate as a plug-in hybrid, as some enthusiasts have done, costs around ＄12,000.

GM bosses have hinted that his company planned to put a plug-in into mass【C15】______ . It is an indication of how the pace is 【C16】______ in the race to develop more eco-friendly cars.

Others are more【C17】______ . Carlos Ghson, the boss of Renault and Nissan, who is 【C18】______ for his skepticism towards hybrids, said he still had doubts that hybrid technology is【C19】______ for the mass market, stressing that plug-in hybrids will have to wait until battery technology improves.

That really is "magical" for Apple's bottom line, anyway.

And that's 【C16】______ . What's wrong, or at least interesting, is why some of us 【C17】______ so much more from a new gadget. I suspect this is because for some people, myself 【C18】______ , technology has become a kind of 【C19】______ . We may not believe in God anymore, but we still need mystery and wonder. We need the magic 【C20】______ .
