Now all we need to do is create a ship that can travel 600x the speed of light and we can get there in a year!

 

For that all we need is an infinite amount of energy/hope relativity is wrong. It's almost too easy.

As for the planet, I'm not getting excited. It's considerably larger than the Earth and there are factors at play that we have no idea about (environment, axial tilt, etc) . To say it habitable is a stretch. This will be Gliese 581d all over again.

erm no. Special relativity would make it possible to reach the planet within a lifetime...time dilation means the time will move slower on a fast moving spaceship. Problem is that time on earth would be thousands of years ahead by the time you come back.
