A stationary object is floating on space and then it starts sending a continuous beam of photons. It seems correct to assert that the object accelerates since photons have momentum. In the initial condition the center of mass is at rest and thus it should remain at rest since photons have no mass. But it also accelerates because photons have momentum.
