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

[Fredulus]

where?

..huh?

[Darkness ZXW]

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

80 years after developing a craft that can go at the speed of light, and we're at 70km/s at the time(Helios II)*

[Fredulus]

^AKA grow up you stupid trekkies we're not getting there in our lifetimes

[Cybersix]

where?

orbits a star 40 light years away in the constellation Cancer

[Ceist]

talking to fredulus but okay lol.
anyways poop, they did show that neutrinos can go just as fast as light, why not faster

Because going faster than light (according to Einstein's theory) is completely and utterly impossible.

Sorry, thought you were asking where the planet is.

yeah, but what's the fun in that? :(

ik.
btw, who is your avatar, he looks familiar.

[Darkness ZXW]

forget Einstein

all we need are some rockets and a superlight craft

[Mold]

Quick someone build a warp drive and get the diamond!!

[Ceist]

i was educated by a teacher without a masters who got all his knowledge from stargate. i know everything about astronomy dont contradict me/.

[Isaac Fox]

Holy stuff!

If we would be able to import all that diamond, diamond would be close to being worthless.

[fawkes..]

If we would be able to import all that diamond, diamond would be close to being worthless.

And everything would be so pretty!:D

But yeah, an expedition there assuming that we discover how to travel at the speed of light would take at least 80 years.
the crew would most likely die on the way there so it'd have to be a fully automated craft, which would probably break.
And even if it did get there then what? the temperature of the planet is estimated at 3900 degrees so it couldnt land!

If we would be able to import all that diamond, diamond would be close to being worthless.

Then we would make a defensive planetary shield out of it, due to the fact that the thing is larger than Earth.
Man, we would win that Galactic Beauty Pageant for sure!
