... There are designs on the board for solar furnaces for melting
ET's, turing each into a twelve foot solid aluminum sphere. ...
... one ET can be turned into a solid aluminum sphere twelve feet
across. ...
This is hard to believe. A twelve foot diameter aluminum sphere
would mass 69,000 kilograms or 76 tons. Are you sure you aren't
counting the mass of the spent fuel as well as the mass of the
shell?
