While the theory is hopeful, there are still some obstacles to overcome. According to this article, the ship wouldn't be able to travel with the bubble faster than the speed of light.

I wonder if the physics points toward a need to transform ships (and contents) into an exotic state of matter (without losing information, and thus coherence) in order to move with the bubble.
