New Planet made out of Diamond found, thus the space race is on.

Did someone say diamonds?

Diamonds=/=The new penny

noap

pennies (and coins altogether) should be removed/phased out

it costs more to make those damn things than what they're worth

also, switch to metric

[Harm94]

Without the penny we would have to round up higher.

[Legodude77]

Without the penny we would have to round up higher.

And thus higher prices.

I wonder how many people got the joke in the article's title.

[Morpheus]

It would take 80 years for something to go there and back.

[otto-san]

I guess that means diamonds could be worthless in a number of years.

Really? Must be really close to use then, if in a matter of years, counting all travelling to get all the diamonds and mining and fund--

Its 40 light years away, would this planet be possible to get to?

um

do you know why a light year is called a light year?

because it takes light a year to travel that distance

know how much faster than light you can go?

you can't, that's how much.

know how fast the fastest rocket is?
252,792 km/h

know how fast light is?
1,079,252,850 km/h

4269x faster

you're exaggerating to such a ridiculous extent it's laugh-
look at me, i'm laug-I'M LAUGHING

It would take 80 years for something to go there and back.

I didn't know we had the technology to allow light-speed travel.

[Elecro]

Aren't diamonds made from magma or some stuff?

[hodototman]

Aren't diamonds made from magma or some stuff?

was close to a star

wait I'm confused

don't diamonds form from cooling down, not burning to hell?

[Elecro]

It's probably a dwarf-planet, anyways. Probably not fit for life either. But you'd be rich as a motherfoocker.

[Mega-Bear]

Aren't diamonds made from magma or some stuff?

They're super pressurized carbon and stuff.

[otto-san]

Aren't diamonds made from magma or some stuff?

diamonds are made of carbon in a certain type of lattice structure, i can't quite remember how it goes without looking it up though

Did you read the article?

No, it's not fit for life, and it's larger than Earth.
