That has got to be the coolest planet out there. Think of how many
women you could get engaged to--with all those diamond rings!


Are you talking about Arthur Clarke's "2061: Odyssey three" ?



No they keep talking about the diamond planet in the space shows on the
science channel--along with hot Jupiter and the rocky planets in the
Goldilocks zone. Hot Jupiters are nice but the diamond planet takes
the cake!







You do realize that on a diamond planet, that diamonds would be totally
worthless.
But you would be wealthy there beyond belief if you could bring some bags of
dirt to sell.


BTW if you only want diamonds,.....just wait until earths sun burns itself
out, and all that remains is a cold dead dwarf lump in space
It should be pretty much all carbon and diamonds at that point.
