The exoplanet, TOI-715 b, is about one and a half times the width of Earth.

Unfortunately super earths aren’t viable for us. They would both have crushing gravity and that gravity would make rockets leaving the planet impossible. Fuel to weight ratio would ensure no one could ever leave.
If we have technology to traverse 100+ ly, we likely have the technology to escae its gravity
So, how much more weight would one be subject to?
Assuming the same density, about three times as much gravity.
Gravity scales linearly with volume which scales with the cube of the width, (3/2)³ is about 3,4.
So we go there to train and come back as superheroes?
