Astronomers have discovered the nearest possibly habitable planet 31 light years away.
The exoplanet, a super-Earth called GJ357d is 6 time larger than our planet; and water may exist in liquid form on the surface. Its host star is not too hot and not too cold; and the planet orbits the star every 56 days.
Two next-generation telescopes are scheduled to launch in 2021 and one in 2025 and should reveal if the planet is rocky or has oceans.
I wouldn't want to relocate to another planet, would you?

Not sure if I would or not. I would like to know more about it before I decided that.

I think I would sign up, but I am probably outside the range they are looking for.

How interesting, if I would like to go and explore, I love the idea, and maybe you will also find ways of life on that planet ...

I wouldn't want to relocate, but if some people did I'd say go for it & wish them the best.
