To propel it into space perhaps, but not to get it to light speed. It is impossible to achieve light speed through acceleration, and this microwave method is just an alternate form of acceleration.

Dude, kinetic travel through space to another star system is insane. There is a 100% chance of catastrophic destruction from debris. At the required speeds even atoms will ablate the craft to nothing over such distances.
