We still need the full published results, other people to do tests in a vacuum, field tests, and to figure out how it even works, but so far there have been tests by multiple national and private groups and no notable caveats that I can find, and we have a hard vacuum test by NASA, which is the main thing I've been waiting for, so I'm cautiously stoked. Also the title (theirs, not yours) is oddly inaccurate, it's not NASA's drive, it was made by a private inventor with a small company.
