The Kerbiopause

[Tyr Anasazi]

Has anyone reached the Kerbiopause? Bill has been flying for 150 years and only gotten this far:

The heliopause is around 125 AU from the sun. Neptune is 30 AU to compare this. 
I think that we are seeing here is is the sun SOI who I imagine is much farter out, as in lightyears. 

Added:
But that don't seems correct, at 804 km/s you are traveling at 0.00268 c and in 150 year you should have traveled 0.4 lightyears. 0.00268*150=0.4
And that circle is more than 10 times farther than you have traveled, closer to 20. So over 6 lightyear out.

Bill has now been flying for 438 years. Morale appears to be high. Velocity is 1001 km/s and Bill is just under 20% of the way there.

I'm glad to see him look so happy about it

Who needs probe cores? Kerbals are far more useful

That sort of drive are you using? I assumed you had done an singularity intercept.

Could potentially be the new kraken drive.

A big multi stage rocket with 2 x hydrogen stages (total 4 balls) and a final xenon stage. Due to warp bugs I was able to continue accelerating with the xenon drive without using up the gas. It was  pain though because every additional 5km/s it would cancel warp due to partial out of fuel orbital events (I wish I could switch that "feature" off)

You've got some balls..

@Stratzenblitz75 did it somewhere in this stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFVPHTLPjtc&t=35140s
Hopefully I got the timestamp correct.
