As far as we know, the farthest that human beings have gone from the earth's surface has been in the Apollo command modules that orbited around the far side of the moon. Give them credit for maybe a quarter million miles from earth ... 250,000 miles. -- about 1 percent of the distance to Venus when it's closest to earth; -- about 1/2 percent of the distance to Mars when it's closest to earth; -- about 1/4 percent of the distance to the sun.

The farthest people have been is to the moon. Well, slightly past the moon, because they orbited around it. We have not been to any other planets.
