The papers [1] says on page 33 that the measured performance is more than two orders of magnitude better than light sails. Given that light sails are more or less considered a viable technology, it seems quite reasonable that you could get this working if you could manufacture huge and light enough solar cells. But I personally would not hold my breath - if I had to decide between quite radical new physics and measurement errors, I would certainly pick measurement errors. It seems way more likely that this is a case of faster than light neutrinos than the key to interplanetary or even interstellar travel.
