Few flying cars and no fountains of youth: Since 2000, many old science goals have remained as far away as ET's signals
Recently dubbed the Forty Years' War by The New York Times, the long road to curing cancer is strewn with myriad provisional treatments—and countless combative metaphors. The past decade has seen attempts to thwart the disease by injecting vaccines, targeting stem cells and repurposing proteins. "Cancer research has really plateaued out,"
Regardless of who killed the electric car, it has shown few zombie-like tendencies in this decade. Since GM and others pulled the plug on their programs in the 1990s, electric cars have remained pretty much as dead as a road-tested battery after 40 miles. "The electric car has been a letdown," says online technology editor Larry Greenemeier. Hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius and the Honda Civic hybrid have been picking up speed in the past several years, but they still wind up burning a gallon of gas for every 40-50 miles they cover.
Although the deep oceans sometimes get in on the game, space remains the final frontier—still holding the cool, distant allure that it has for decades. Scientists continue to learn plenty about the great distant darkness, but most curious civilians have yet to get a chance to go into orbit—or even into the stratosphere.
