Apparently some billionare Russian is putting in a fuckload of cash to invent a postage stamp size spaceship that will travel there on a laser beam and would only take twenty years.
Currently, if you wanted to send a human it would take 60000 years unfortunately.
The planet is seven times closer to it's sun then mercury is to ours, but it's a weak sun so this places it in the goldilocks zone.
Because it's so close it will always face one direction so you've got a hot side and a cold side with inhabitability only around the cusp.
It's 30% bigger than earth and most likely to be rocky.
I just heard all that on the radio. :-)
