...solar system. According to such theories, the early sun, formed from a cloud of gas and dust, was surrounded by a disk-shaped nimbus made up of the leftovers. The newborn star's heat drove smaller particles and gases, including water vapor, out from the center. The heavier, metal-rich rock left behind condensed into asteroids and the inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Much of the gas and light dust , farther out was gathered up into the so-called gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The rest was blown by solar heat and wind to the outskirts...

...such excuses won't fly in Europe, where miles of smooth-riding, durable autobahns and auto routes put American roadways to shame. European highways actually carry more traffic and considerably heavier truck weights than U.S. roads, yet they are smoother and far sturdier. European highways are designed by their builders to last 40 years; the projected life of American roads is half as long...
