Project Daedalus was a project studied by the British Interplanetary Society, to send an uncrewed interstellar probe to the Barnard's Star System. The spacecraft was to be an enormous two staged ship, much bigger than the Starship-Super Heavy staked together. Fueled by Helium 3 mined from moon or Jupiter's atmosphere, it would have the capability to travel at 12% the speed of light at its maximum, reaching Barnard's Star within Human lifetime, or about 55 years (was estimated to be 50 years. The spacecraft would be too large to lift off from Earth, so it was to be constructed in orbit.
So, here's my recreation in SFS 1.35- (Sorry as I could not accurately make the Engine and some more parts due to the restrictions of SFS 1.35)

Sorry, the satellite isn't visible, just now noticed, I used a parachute, and it is deployable

Nice, a fellow classic man-woman!
