@Sambob, yeah maybe. NASA has also said that due to how active the red dwarf star it orbits is, the planet also likely has high levels of radiation, but like you said, maybe by the time we can reach that planet we will have the technology to take care of that. I am on the hopeful side that at some point we will make a discovery that will cause a huge leap in space exploration. Similar to how the silicone chip revolutionized computers.
They discovered a planet in its habitable zone that has water vapor, but due to its mass it is likely either a very rocky planet or an ice giant like Neptune. Also, life could just mean bacteria or fungi.
