It is at least science, in that sense that they've repeated the experiment faithfully and obtained results at least as useful as the original Eagleworks experiment. Unsurprisingly and anticlimactically, they obtained the same results. This simply underscores the need for high power testing. Additionally, they need to also test in orbit/microgravity.
