Still, the discovery for the first time of an atmosphere
around a planet outside our solar system was heralded as a
breakthrough in planetary exploration.
DETROIT, Mich -- In a news conference today, General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner discussed the possibilities of expanding the automobile market to new, fresh atmospheres outside our solar system.
"We really excited about the prospect of intersolar expansion," said Wagoner. "Before we were dragged kicking and screaming by the federal government into making cleaner -- but more expensive cars for consumers. The fact that unclaimed lands have no such restrictions make this an exciting opportunity."
However, scientists on Earth are not pleased with GM's plans.
"We already messed up our atomsphere pretty bad, and the thought that large, inefficient, and dirty American cars on clean, unexplored lands is a travesty," said NASA researcher Stephen Kloss. "We hope they stay away."
Officials from Daimler-Chrysler and Ford could not be reached for comment, but are expected to issue statements tomorrow afternoon.
Said Wagoner: "The Asians are insane. No one wants to cram into a sardine can they call a Japanese car, even if it is efficient."
