Does anyone remember reading about this proposed spaceship as a kid? It's capable of reaching 12% of the speed of light.

I thought project Daedalus was that cheesy movie with Clint 'Im not a racist, you are a pussy' Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, James Gardner and Donald Sutherland going to space:
from IMDB - "Space Cowboys" - When a retired engineer is called upon to rescue a failing satellite, he insists that his equally old teammates accompany him into space.
