Well yeah it’s almost double, but I wrote the comment as a mental estimation of the order of magnitude, so it doesn’t change the substance of the discussion.
I mean at the beginning I arbitrarily picked a number in that 10^40 to 10^44 range and that’s a factor of 1:10,000 rather than 1:2, lol.
i think you did the weight approximation in the wrong order, 1024 is a lot bigger than 6×1023. so you can probably double the final weight.

Slightly less than double, actually. (Doesn’t really change the meat of the argument or anything though.)
yeah yeah, cosmological approximations and all that, but there’s still a bit of difference between “planetoid” and “gas giant” :P
