They say it can sustain life, not too hot or cold. Only problem is it's a trillion light years away.

"A trillion light years" is bigger than the entire universe.... what they said was that it is trillions of MILES away. There is no way of knowing if it can truly support life (i.e. liquid water) without sending a probe or better yet, a manned mission. Unfortunately at present we have a tough time just getting to Mars, which is millions of times closer. Don't sell your house just yet!

Yeah, its only 20.4 light years away. They don't know yet if it can sustain life or not, they're just saying its possible since it might be in the "habitable zone", they don't even know if there is water yet, they're just saying there might be.
To answer your question, no I wouldn't want to live on that planet because I'l be heavier since the gravitaional acceleration is 1.6g, I like my weight here on Earth :)

20 light years away not a trillion.
The gravity would be a pain but the time to get there would take forever....20 light years, considering it would take about 50 to 100 years to go just 1 light year...anybody got some anti-aging cream?

It's got the right temperature but no one knows if it even has an atmosphere or if the surface is a sea of sufuric acid. I'll pass on the trip that at shuttle speeds would take 800,000 years.

That is 120 trillion MILES away, 20 light years.
Who knows, maybe it is better than Earth. That is highly unlikely, but not impossible. Still, I know Earth and like it here.

The gravitational pull is crazier so it pretty much puts about 90 lbs on a person and they say that one side has sunlight and the other darkness... i'll prolly pass

Whether it can sustain life is no more than a guess. And your guess is as good as anyone else's.

I'd have to know a little more before I call the movers .

Too much gravity!
