Whole lot of speculation going on. They can only say it actually meets a couple out of dozens of the requirements for a planet to be called “habitable”.

This is pure hype. Look at all these marvelous discoveries and continue to fund us folks.
I support the funding. I don’t support this nonsense.
We should invade and colonize
I just made a reservation. No 0bama! No Hillary!
More wishful fantasy spinning by NASA in hopes of keeping funding for dubious science.
Every year they run this play during Congresses deliberation on NASA funding.

1,400 light years away? Heck, it may not even be there now. Who knows?
