Getting there is entirely another..........

Are we checking their atmospheres out? Like, making sure they are being good to their planets? If not, we may have to consider taking them out!

The potentially habitable super-Earth, officially called HD 85512 b, is estimated to be only 3.6 times more massive than Earth, and its parent star is located about 35 light-years away, making it relatively nearby.
Not super-Earth, FAT pseudo-Earth.

-
35 light years away...relatively nearby...har de har har.
How long would it take us to get there (or “them” to get here)?
Apollo 10 set the record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle (24,791 mph).
1 Light Year = 5,878,625,373,183.61 miles
35 Light Years = 205,751,888,061,426.25 miles
205,751,888,061,426 miles / 24,791 mph
= 8,299,458,999 hours
= 345,810,791 days
= 947,426 years
It’s “only” a million years away from here?
Who wants to check my math?

The newfound haul of alien planets includes 16 super-Earths, which are potentially rocky worlds that are more massive than our planet. One in particular - called HD 85512 b - has captured astronomers' attention because it orbits at the edge of its star's habitable zone, suggesting conditions could be ripe to support life. The potentially habitable super-Earth, officially called HD 85512 b, is estimated to be only 3.6 times more massive than Earth, and its parent star is located about 35 light-years away, making it relatively nearby. HD 85512 b was found to orbit at the edge of its star's habitable zone, which is a narrow region in which the distance is just right that liquid water could exist given the right conditions. LOL
