You don't have to go anywhere to leave Sol, you just have to make sure that you have:a hyperdrive (you should by default),that you have the right kind of fuel for the hyperdrive (Hydrogen for normal, or military fuel for mulitary drive),that you have chosen a destination star system in the system select screen,press F2,use arrow keys to move highlight around or click on a star to pick it,the selected system will be listed on the left-hand side of the screen.once you're flying just press F7 or click the jump icon on the control panel (bottom-right)You can still enter hyperspace whilst in atmosphere at the moment, when that is fixed then you will probably have to do something more complex but that's in the future ;) Hope that helps,Andy

Glad you figured it out :)The UI is in a constant state of overhaul but an ingame tutorial would probably be helpful to I guess.
