Lucy in the sky....

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Just think how much money you could get if you sold that. Of course, you wouldn't be able to store it anywhere....

This news is amazingly sorta on-topic with FL. Minable materials like that could very well be the kick to get corporations to send people to the far reaches of space. I can just imagine the dollar signs crossing people's faces.

I read about that on Monday. They had ithe new prefaced with statements like "imagine giving this to your girlfriend on Valentines Day". Ugh, bloody media. Still, it would be fascinating to study. I wish I could see it up close!

sorry to diasppoint you all, but it's cubic zirconia. saw it last week on QVC jewellery special.

but the wife still wants it (no honestly when she read the report she had a go at me for moaning about space exploration and said that i must have known about it thats why i didnt tell her and also why i was opposed to the Mars mission, because i knew there were huge diamonds floating in space)

She'd have a bit of trouble carrying it around Taw. But I'm sure that she could find a way. Women are like that...

Just watch. DeBeers will have funded a space outreach program for the sole purpose of having got to Lucy first, thereby keeping its strangle hold on the diamonds market.

Kimk probably heard about it months ago from his NASA connections and then forgot about it .
