I loved hearing this called “the Devil’s pogo stick” once. There were some paper studies showing that a thermonuclear version could theoretically work and reach speeds up to 10% the speed of light, which would be the Centauri system in a bit over 45 years. Of course you would have to slow down too which probably adds another few years. If this can be theoretically done with technology contemporary with the Summer of Love, it really does make the Fermi paradox seem like something real.
