considering it's fifty lightyears away, it doesn't really matter. :p Even at a 10th of the speed of light (which is unlikely that we will ever attain such rates of travel ~19,000 miles per second or 68.5 million miles per hour .. har har) it would take 500 years to get there. Far beyond the average human life span. Our only hopes to make it beyond our own solar system within reasonable time frames lie in wormhole travel. |

It's like a quarter of the earth's equatoral diameter. Considering it's super-dense carbon I would suspect sticking that kind of mass on the earth would probably kick us out of orbit :p |

but imagine if we did chip off a cubic foot of it.....
I bet I could weld a gold ring to it, get a hot ass chick to wear it...she'd do me....a year later get divorced and lose everything.
Let try it. |

All the money in the world could not get a single human being to that planet alive. Much less before the end of our civilization, with current technology (and any forseeable technology at the moment). Therefore it's basically worthless as the cost of operation to mine the gem approaches or rather, is "not applicable" as in, unpossible. |
