More seriously…
Each particular milestone reached represents further evidence in favor of the concepts behind FF but, as I understand it, the goal for LPPX-1 is to demonstrate the scientific feasibility of boron fusion as a power source.
That would move it from the “wholly theoretical” stage to the point where building an actual generator really would be “just a matter of engineering.”
Status? Seems to be a case of so far, so good. They are making definite progress and are setting records as they do so.
But they have a ways to go yet in order to reach their particular goal.
