There's another problem : the star is a red dwarf.
Those things are not exactly calm and composed, they can spit a CME at you if you look at them wrong.
And, being that close, if that planet still has an atmosphere it might not be sufficient to sustain human life.
But at least this time, when they say "an Earth-like planet", they're within an acceptable ball park. I'm tired of reading about the discovery of an "Earth-like" that is more than twice the size of ours. That's not Earth-like, that's just another ball of rock.
I'm not going to move to a planet where I weigh twice as much simply by getting there.
