I found it quite interesting. Never heard of that Gliese planet before.

I hear that Gliese may have a few local dark skinned aliens there already so the Op ain't going to be happy.

Quite an interesting little bit of whimsy this although I suppose potentially could help focus where we should be looking for alien life if we start from the premise that similarity to Earth is the most likely thing to determine the possibility to hold life or whether the habitability index is of more use - neither of which might matter if life doesn't start from the same basis. I'm still amused by the fact that there's a Goldilocks zone and always have been - scientists, they're just big kids really.

How did Venus make the list ?
400 deg heat, crushing atmosphere and acid clouds don't make for good living.

I think cells and whatnot can survive those temps. I remember seeing a scene in a documentary about underwater volcano type things harbouring life. So it would be high on the list for life, but far down for habitability. Unless you have literal balls of steel
Water and carbon wouldn't work, but other forms of life may well.
I reckon a silicon-based life form would manage it
