Seems we have heard this claim multiple times before. Didn't they claim to have found something like four potential earths in the Gliese system alone?
In any event, since it is 500 light years away, if we ever figure out how to travel at near light speed, we can get there in a little over 500 years. I suppose if we also manage artificial intelligence (that remains loyal to us) then we can send robots, or perhaps we can cryogenically freeze some people and have the robots steer the ship. That is of course, if we can shield the ship from the radiation.
Of course because of time relativity, anyone who did make the trip would come back to an earth very different from the one that sent them, that is, if earth survived at all.
If...if..if... who knows if any of it will ever be possible? But it is fun to think about.
And of course there are the damned xenomorphs to worry about, but I digress.

And you should also mention that perhaps those planets have occupants who have no desire to allow the blight of humans to approach within 500 light years; given the mess we've made of our own planet.

Yes. That's because there are multiple 'earth-like' planets. Its a galaxy after all, with billions of suns. Expect more 'earth-like' planets in the future. Thousands if not millions more..
This "human-hating" stuff is really getting old. Some people have swallowed a crock of baloney.
In what sense?
