I'm told by those that know about such things that this would fall into such a category. It's the world's roundest object. If it were scaled up to the size of the sun, the distance between the highest and lowest peak would be 14mm!!!
It is apparently being used to define weights to unprecedented levels that will have hugely significant use in future space travel and other more early benefits.
I'd love to hold that. Not sure what it is about it but it's massively desirable to me! It is apparently being used to define weights to unprecedented levels that will have hugely significant use in future space travel and other more early benefits.

You might have enough to buy a door handle and a set of curtains for one with a euro million win lol. Average fuel cost for the year is £400,000 lol docking fees I'd hate to think. A bargain now at €199m
You'd need 3 or 4 euro wins to get into that life.

Gets my vote too £1.2M – £2.5M TO BUY
Yes, compared to the current cost of a number of classic sports and racing cars, acquiring a Spit can be done on a relatively modest budget. Around £1.2 million gets you a ‘bitsa’ (for want of a more elegant description) and you can pay more than double that for an original aircraft with battle history and which may have been flown by a celebrated war-time pilot.

Not many of these around!

Or the spherical (roundest things know to man apparently) replacements they're working on.

€1,000,000 in raw materials!!
This is a great thread.
This is a great answer:
There are cars: Dodge Charger 440RT, Mercedes 300SL or Lamborghini Murcielago SV
Watches, boats, planes, guns etc. I could name several of each, but I suspect my final answer would be a property somewhere on the West Coast of the USA with a stunning garage, heliport, epic views, moorings for the boat and a spectacular infinity pool....
