It is the smallest planet yet discovered outside the solar system, with a radius about one and a half times that of Earth, giving it about twice the gravitational pull.
adaptation and evolution, we had to develop appropriate skeletons to survive here so eventually i think that could be overcome

yeah ... too bad we will never be able to get there... even if we travelled at the speed of light it would take 20 years... its cool to think about... but will never happen

'only' 20 light years away.. that means any measurements based on light (what else can they base it on?) happened 20 years ago.. and type of propulsion to get any satellites or instruments there would take 40 years to get there and back if they were capable of traveling at the speed of light, not including the time spent there.. its a cool discovery, but i don't expect anything to come out of it in our lifetime.

Pretty damn cool. We definately need to first get up to light speed, and then work on the whole faster-than-light-equals-going-back-in-time theory
