Nearer the sun means built-in global warming. We should immediately ship every single “greeniebaby” to somewhere that will give them a real reason to complain. Dad always said, “keep complaining and I will GIVE you something to complain about” so let’s do that.

Voyager 1 or 2 could get there in only about 300,000 years. That’s not too bad.

"the inner of the two, takes little more than 10 days to complete an orbit around the star, while GJ 1002c needs a little over 21 days."

This means the orbiting planets are probably tidally locked to the star, which means one side is always facing the star and the other side is facing away. It's unlikely these are "habitable" or "Earth-like" planets.

But the hype should keep the funding going.

It’s only 16 light years away. The #35 bus goes there every twenty minutes. LOL!
