Diamond planet

Aren't the wonders of the universe amazing? I love it when they discover something new in space; how would you like a planet-sized diamond?

What's the catch? Well, 55 Cancri e is 40 lightyears away, so it would take an incredibly long time to get there at the current fastest human-achieved speeds; and if you even made it there to begin with, the surface temperature is around 3,900 degrees Fahrenheit...not exactly an attractive place to want to visit!

While diamonds are valuable only because we consider them to be, the existence of a diamond-world is fascinating! I hope that by the time humanity finds it technologically possible to visit the world we will have placed less emphasis on resource-stripping and will appreciate the planet for what it is.
