Found: The New Earth
I'm already packing.
Above a calm, dark ocean, a huge, bloated red sun rises in the sky - a full ten times the size of our Sun as seen from Earth. Small waves lap at a sandy shore and on the beach, something stirs...

Oh YES! Can I get a ticket or a ride or something?
The Earth-like planet that could be covered in oceans and may support life is 20.5 light years away, and has the right temperature to allow liquid water on its surface.
20 Light years? Okay so, I'd be in my forties when I get there. But there will be no people. Fair trade I'd say. Now to invent the ability to move at the speed of light...
