Here\'s my interstellar probe (note the sun in the background) took 4ish hours to get here maybe abit more i don\'t remmeber when i started. the kerbals have been travellign for roughly 2000 days. The sun is a very very faint dot that i placed at the top of teh arch of teh sunbeam ( yes the sun\'s concentric circles still work at that distance) Keep in mind this is .1% of a lightyear so i will not be arrivign at any stars for quite some time

I got up to 1066 Giga meters took about 4 hours and my departure speed was 14 kms a second I think I came back after watching a movie and the screen had gone black which is a shame dunno why but the game was working well up to that point with the usual 10 000 X time dilation effects ie ship buckling like crazy etc keep in mind that this is only 1.0*10^12 metres away while 1 light year is roughly 1.0 *10^15 metres so i\'m not even close to one lightyear here. BTW teh sun is jsut barely visible in the pic, it is a small pale dot suspended in a ring of light. Reminds me of Carl Sagan\'s pale blue dot. 'From this distant vantage point, Kerbin might not seem of any particular interest. But for the kerbals, it\'s the only home they know. Look again at that dot. That\'s here, that\'s the VAB, that\'s us. On is every crazed engineer, every rocket technician and every pyromaniac that has ever lived, lived there – on a mote of dust orbiting a humdrum star, suspended in a sunbeam.
