Diamonds seem to be falling out of the sky on our gas giants
(see linky). With Juno on its way out there to scout, perhaps
it's time to consider an atmosphere hopping fishing trip
diamonds in the (jovian) sky

Someone will try to get these giant diamonds to build a LASER, the idea should be how to stop them before it's too late, and the LASER has already started burning a charred path through innocent people's families! |

The diamonds will exist down at levels where the
pressure is high enough to create them. Getting
something down to the point of collecting the
diamonds would likely be quite difficult. |
|
| |
On the other hand, a large enough disturbance might
excavate some of this diamond rain into a low,
temporary orbit. So... Comet Shoemaker-Levy may
have just been a mining demo. |

Getting something down to the point of collecting
the diamonds without it being crushed beyond
functionality, and then getting it out again in one
piece, would likely be quite difficult |

Nah just make a big scoop out of diamond. |
|

But the question is why. Once again we come to the
fact that the energy cost of artificial diamond is
below the current energy cost to mine them on
earth, let alone collect them on Jupiter and return
them to earth. |

But....but....but these are Jupiter diamonds! |
|
| |
But are they eco-friendly renewable organic
carbon-neutral diamonds … ? |
