How much will someone spend on an expedition to mine the diamond for profit?

Oh man I would be farming a few tons and make a fortune I would also afford to get married since I would be rich!

900 light years away? 900 years to get there assuming someone invents light speed travel.

I hope that light speed travel becomes possible in our lifetime. I'd like to be able to travel to that star and get my slice of the pie.

If humans were to harvest it, diamonds would become so plentiful that they'd be worthless.

Unless only one person, group or company did & rashioned it out so they can charge more.

Which is actually what they are doing right now. There is plenty of diamonds.

Yes, but The DeWines Space Mining Corporation will fail to gain control, because the Russian Intergalactic Empire will be battling the Chinese Deathstar fleet over rights to this area. The Chinese will be on the losing end, but in one final act of retribution, they will blow up the giant diamond, destroying the Russians' dreams of a diamond monopoly.

Hmmm, we Feringi have been 'listening' in on this thread and are posting to regretfully inform you that Quark and his brother Rom have already been to the diamond star, attached a tractor beam, and are now towing it home.

Besides, it is doubtful indeed that humans possess the lobes to attempt such a voyage.

But be of good cheeer, Grand Nagus Zek wishes to remind you all that we are offering a half-off price on safe passage through the Barzan Wormhole this weekend.
...we find it.. the,um... Profitable thing to do.

Farewell for now Customers!
