However, we can get to Mars is 3 months or so anyway with a fission powered spacecraft. For some bizarre reason both the US and Russia have effectively stopped exploring this space. Using chemical rockets the travel time one way is nearly a year with all the attendant costs and dangers to the crew.
But scientists have succeeded in first tests?
I remain skeptical.
but reproducible empirical data will do just fine.
You don't have to know HOW it works - you just have to show it DOES work.
Science it filled with things known to be true but poorly understood.
If it's real we'll know soon enough.
If not, it'll drag on forever, kept alive by true believers and pseudo-scientists.
I have read up on quite a bit of this, including some of the extremely dry scientific reports. It appears to be a previously unknown real effect that has been verified by several independent sources. The Physicists are absolutely denouncing it, and it doesn't seem like anyone really knows how it works down to the quantum level. The truth seems to be that it works. As far as the PHD's that denounce its ability to work; The absolute answers in Physics have changed at least four times since I was born. I'm going to take a guess and suggest it is pushing against "Dark Matter".
So, what if this new force was utilized to run a generator? or Motor?
these experimenters may have found something
real which has been hidden, or elusive! -- j

The link contained within from NASA had some very interesting data. If this pans out it would be quite a leap and it would call into question some of the accepted laws of physics. Or, it could be another anomalous experiment... a dead end.
