What is there to break on a lifeless planet?


Clearly the implication is that it is another habitable planet and the other comments talking about going there etc. It isn't the rock I am worried about, it would be community that decides to move there and then starts exploiting each other leaving a planet depleted of resources and a rather long journey home!


Whether there's life on this planet is not known, it's in the inhabitable zone so that possibility cannot be discarded.


It's just worth keeping in mind that by the standard used to call this planet Earth-like, we have four habitable Earth-like worlds in our solar system.
