   What is the velocity of the fuel propellant relative to the ship, in the
case of (1) fuel from the booster during boost, and (2) fuel from the ship
itself during orbital flight?

   How fast can NASA-generated technology expel propellant?

   What does the latest research on this issue have to say?
