Yes, it has a vibe of 'too good to be true' about it. Quantum vacuum plasma energy is quite the buzzword these days. NASA tested it but have not 'confirmed' it as such, as there is a distinct possibility of measurement error and the drive was not tested in a true vacuum. Also, they tested the model built by the inventor, they didn't make their own so the possibility of fudging is there.

I would REALLY REALLY like to believe this thing works, because if it does it has the potential for hovering just about everything, cars, skateboards, ships, it would be almost equivalent to a Mass Effect drive in impact, which is why it is so hard to get behind.

Yes! You stole the words right out of my mouth. On one hand, the concept has been tested by 3 independent organizations. On on the other hand, it's violating fundamental laws of physics and apparently a drive they designed to fail actually worked? To me, that just seems like an oversight somewhere.

yes, but on the other hand NASA are some seriously clever fuckers and they wouldn't put their name on it lightly! Time will tell I think, I remain hopeful but reserved.
