"Roughly the size of Earth" is a bit misleading. It's radius is 2.4 times that of Earth. That means its gravity will be 2.4 times that of Earth's if it has a comparable density (putting it in the super-Earth category) or 0.43 if it has the density of water. It could be more dense, less dense, or somewhere in-between (which would be the most desirable). What's significant is that if its atmosphere provides a Greenhouse effect similar to that on Earth, then it should have a surface temperature of 22C/72F.

So you trek nerds how long would it take to get there with warp 5???

Even if it were ideal, it is still ~600 lightyears away. We would need to make unfathomable strides in the way we propel our spacecraft just to make it there.

It saddens me to know that by the time this planet is even slightly analyzed for life, I will be dead and gone.

I agree. My fantasy is to sleep for 1000 years. Imagine what you would see when you awoke. Of course, that is, if we haven't wiped ourselves out by then.
