They wouldn't go...
"On Earth, carbon dioxide makes up 0.04 percent of the atmosphere. Because Kepler-62f is much farther away from its star than Earth is from the sun, it would need to have dramatically more carbon dioxide to be warm enough to maintain liquid water on its surface, and to keep from freezing."
More CO2.....They have a allergy to CO2.

My guess is any world that could hold life is already inhabited. At 1200 l.y. we’ll need a transwarp starship.
To: Red Badger
A distant planet known as Kepler-62f could be habitable, a team of astronomers reports.
Bye.

Any world that I’m welcome to, is better than the one I come from.

Kepler-62f? Aw, heck. I bought land on Kepler-62e from that Name a Star company. I guess I'm outta luck again.

62-e is in the habitable zone as well, albeit a bit closer and therefore hotter.............

Yeah. Considering a single light year is about six trillion miles.

The probability of getting there is about the same as Jennifer Aniston calling up and asking me out on a date.

It would be a shame to travel for 1200 years or so and then find out that the place was over-sold and not quite as habitable as the salesman said.

I’d rather leave them than to try to force those idiots to leave us.
