Well, here are some more habitable planets, these being "50% more habitable than your current habitable planets!"

I, for one, think these are meaningful discoveries even though we do not have to technology to travel there because the real effort is to find liquid h2o. We are not so much likely to find life, but if we find water on one of these habitable planets, we will have found the ingredients for life. That itself would be huge.

We better figure out how to get there this place is fucked

That's what happens when you put a potato in the microwave.

And only 12 light years? Sign me up, I'd kill to live out there and commute to Earth for work every day.

Well lets nuke it. Just in case it has cylons on it.

Now if we could just find those fucking mass effect relays we could go say hello.
