The Voyager 1 spacecraft is a 722-kilogram robotic space probe of the outer solar system and beyond, launched September 5, 1977, and currently operational. It visited Jupiter and Saturn and was the first probe to provide detailed images of the moons of these planets.
Voyager 1 is the farthest human-made object from Earth, traveling away from both the Earth and the Sun at a relatively faster speed than any other probe. Though its sister-craft, Voyager 2, was launched one month earlier, Voyager 2will never pass Voyager 1. Neither will the New Horizons mission to Pluto, despite being launched from Earth at a faster speed than both Voyager craft, since during its flight Voyager 1 benefited from a number of gravity assisted speed boosts.
As of December 7, 2007, Voyager 1 is over 15.67 terameters (15.67×1012 meters, or 15.67×109 km, 104.7 AU, 14.52 light-hours, or 9.79 billion miles) from the Sun, and has thus entered the heliosheath, the termination shock region between the solar system and interstellar space, a vast area where the Sun's influence gives way to the other bodies in the galaxy.

What was the distance from the earth of Apollo 11?
Apollo 11 traveled approximately 384,000 kilometers (239,000 miles) at its farthest point from Earth during the flight to the Moon.
What is the farthest man has gone into space?
The farthest a human has traveled from Earth was during the Apollo 13 mission in 1970, when the crew swung around the far side of the moon at a distance of about 400,171 km (248,655 miles) from Earth. Since then, most human spaceflights have been confined to low Earth orbit.

What is the farthest a man has traveled into space?
Humans have orbited the moon. When they were around the "back", they were about 240,000 miles from the earth. That's the record so far.
What is the farthest a person can travel?
The farthest a person can travel is limited by the boundaries of space and time. Currently, the farthest humans have traveled from Earth is about 400,000 kilometers (approximately 248,000 miles) to the Moon during the Apollo missions. In theory, if we consider space travel, the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which is over 14 billion miles away from Earth, represents the farthest any human-made object has traveled. However, humans themselves remain confined to relatively close distances within our solar system.
What was the distance from the earth of Apollo 11?
Apollo 11 traveled approximately 384,000 kilometers (239,000 miles) at its farthest point from Earth during the flight to the Moon.
