This has a chance to become one of the greatest discoveried in history !

I would love to know what's on that planet. It's disappointing that we'll most likely never know in our lifetime. It would take 22 years to get there, even if we had a ship that could travel at light speed.

...and another 22 years to send the answer back to earth.
But of course we will never be able to travel at the speed of light.

99.99999 percent that planet will be more like Venus or Mars instead of the Earth. EVERYTHING has to be right for a planet to have life... the right rotation, the right atmosphere, and having 3 suns means even a less chance of life.

I think these "planet might have life" searches are nothing but witch-hunts designed to keep government money flowing into the pockets of astronomers.
