Even if this newly discovered planet had breathable air and liquad water, would we even be able to go to it given the mass and gravity on the planet?

Let's just say the planet has 2.4 times the gravitational pull as Earth. I'm about 100kg in weight so I would weigh around 240kg? I could handle that weight given my lower/upper body strength but wouldn't my internal organs, brain etc be put under a lot of strain? Woul my blood not be forced downwards causing me to faint or my heart having to work twice as hard?

Just curious to know how this works?

If a planet is bigger than Earth it doesn't necessarily mean it has higher gravitational pull. (? My english term might be wrong here)

But if it indeed had 2.4g pull you would be able to stay there for short while with exoskeleton help. And some system that would feed blood to your brains. Heart can't feed your brains efficiently enough in those conditions.
