Earth-like planet

So have any of you guys heard/read about this? Scientists found a planet outside our solar system which may be suitable for life and water.

pretty interesting

20 years to get there though?

Even if its somewhat livable, kind of hard to supply a ship with enough food, even though im sure there are plenty of crazy volunteers who'd like to go for it.

I'd love to see somebody get send there withing the next 10 years, so somebody can get there within my lifetime.

20 light years! and since we can't travel at the speed of light, it will take much longer to actually get there.

Maybe they already found this planet and have already landed and are already observing and studying but don't want people to know about it because it will cause mass hysteria and we'll go apeshit on them and tie them down and be like "Y0 bish why you be comin to our planet!" and they be like " I love chicken everything taste like chicken here" and we be like "word!" and jump in the STI to get some KFC.

Hey what a great idea. Why don't we all move to a planet whose star is already red and on its last legs.
You're geniuses. Every single fucking one of you.
