The tech billionaire has some plans to colonize Mars in the next few years. Therefore a planet that humankind can extend their future in is highly exciting for him. When the study was first published in 2018, planetary scientist Anthony Del Genio of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies said, "The most important message coming out of our simulations is that there's a good chance the planet will be habitable."
The study concluded that the Earth-sized planet, located 4.2 light-years from the sun, is probably the closest "extremely habitable" planet to our solar system. Considering we are running out of fresh water and the global warming is coming really strong, these findings can be highly important for future.
