Fifty light years away, whats this story anyway...
Objects only have value when they are scarce, if gold was as plentiful as sand, it would have the same value.
A supposed diamond this large would be worthless, only dangerous.

Yeah, that's why this guy was cited in the article........
When asked to estimate the value of the cosmic jewel, Ronald Winston, chief executive officer (CEO) of Harry Winston, Inc., indicated that such a large diamond probably would depress the value of the market, stating, “Who knows? It may be a self-deflating prophecy because there is so much of it.”

There`s a good chance humans will last forever, birds are supposedly the last descendents of dinosaurs.
