This was recently discovered and seems to be the most Earth-like planet yet discovered in our galaxy.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all-the apathy of humanbeings.
-Helen Keller
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on a tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

A fellow ain't got a soul of his own, just a little peice of a big soul, the one big soul that belongs to everybody

How 'bout we move ther instead and perhaps take them as well, tossing them out of the airlock on the way?
The freedom of all is essential to my freedom.
Mikhail Bakunin (1814 - 1876)
Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made.

Both good ideas and are pretty realistic.
I doubt humans will be moving there soon.
This is one of the least exciting bits of news I've ever heard
To be the most earth-like planet around at the moment, it just has to have water in it's liquid form I would have thought. I have never read about a planet that sounds anything like ours. From the description it sounds absolutely nothing like the earth.

Let's save the world, one by one. We'll make them believe, conform if they must. Don't question the thought, it's always been told. We'll make them believe, let's save the world.

I haven't read it carefully, but isn't even Mars much more similar to Earth than that planet?
Personally I find it all very exciting. Microlensing much more capable of finding Earth-sized objects at such large distances because the "wobble" of a star due to a planet's gravity is only very small for small sized stars whereas the second spike in luminosity of a star due to microlensing by a planet is only short lasting but very substantial. More exciting than this though is the prospect of actually seeing planets around other stars which could be done using interferometry with orbiting telescopes. That means using an array of telescopes seperated by a certain distance, which act as if they were single telescopes of much larger radii. By then blocking out the light of the sun, scientists are optimistic that they could actually see the much duller reflected light from the planet. This would be much more interesting as scientists could then use spectroscopy to tell what elements and compounds exist on the planet's surface. Obviously it is some time off yet, but I have no doubt it is going to happen eventually.
A lot of people don't seem to think this is really relevent to anything but I don't share that opinion.
