Well, the locals would find interstellar travel relatively simple...
from Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer
"In the race to find the weirdest planet orbiting another star, we may have a front runner: GJ 667Cc, a super-Earth orbiting one star in a triple system that’s actually relatively closeby. And oh yeah: it just so happens to be in just the right spot to be potentially inhabitable!"
And GJ 667 is only 22 light years away - and GJ 667Cc is only one of four suspected planets in the system!
