A general conclusion was drawn that antimatter technology and its development for propulsion is still in its theoretical stages. Although scientists were able to produce tiny amounts of antihydrogen, it is still a challenge to scale this up enough for spacecraft propulsion. So far, research on this area has been very scanty, taking years to characterize and study antimatter itself. One major factor behind this is the cost and special facilities required, and, to the best of our knowledge, this is considering no experimental work on any system using antimatter has been done.
Yeah, I would say so! This is almost just entering the sphere of theoretical thought! BTW, I am not sure that blowing things out your a** will get you traveling anywhere. From current evidence, that people are seeing in the sky, there may be other ways to travel in space.

Quantum-bonded antimatter catalyzed by Crowleyian ritual? Propulsion's quaint. Think Dyson sphere demolition derby. CCP's building one now. Probably. 😈
