So if we travel at the speed of light, it would take 20 years to get there...

I'm torn between going there myself, or stuffing it full of liberals and hitting the launch button.........
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

I wonder what the odds are of the “primordial soup” accidently happening twice.

Gee, I guess they didn't mention the part about the planet being tidally locked which means all the atmosphere is
permanently frozen on the
permanently dark side.
Earth-like my a$$.

Excellent! Another planet to exploit for it's natural resources.

It was so awesome that we just returned from an observatory (saw Jupiter and even Uranus up close!) and the planet news was huge news on Drudge. So cool!

Too many ‘coulds’ and ‘possibly’s’ and ‘might’s’ and ‘in theory’s’ for me. Total speculation on so many if’s, it’s hard to believe this isn’t listed under Science Fiction.
We have a planet like that. It’s called Earth. No other one like it. Not yet.

Maybe His Oneness and the First Wookie can use their Muslim outreach program to explore and colonize it in the name of the Moon God.

"It's pretty hard to stop life once you give it the right conditions," Vogt said. Right. Because we've seen it happen so many times.

Alright, who has that prototype FTL drive in their garage? The Balloon Boy's dad did have it. He had to sell it to pay the fines for 'emergency services'.

FROM THE ARTICLE:
"It is about three times the mass of Earth, slightly larger in width and much closer to its star 14 million miles away versus 93 million. It's so close to its version of the sun that it orbits every 37 days. And it doesn't rotate much, so one side is almost always bright, the other dark.
Temperatures can be as hot as 160 degrees or as frigid as 25 degrees below zero, but in between in the land of constant sunrise it would be "shirt-sleeve weather,"
--------------------
I think these 'scientists' are going with some pretty 'low' standards for 'earth-like'. Calling it a GOLDILOCKS planet is stretching it a bit.
It may have life forms on it's surface. It just depends. All stars are lifegivers (and takers) but, not all seeds produce. A planet too close to it's Sun, gets sterilized.
