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$$.

At least one side has light then, that is plenty for a colony.

Exactly! “Tidally locked” means it is a dead planet for all intents and purposes. It is of my opinion that a planet’s rotation is just as important to sustaining life as being in the “Goldilocks” zone. They must be getting short on grant money.
