The crew members of the nine Apollo missions to the Moon remain, to this day, the farthest-flung human beings in history. The Moon is, on average, 250,000 miles (400,000km) from the surface of the Earth; if there were a piece of string that long, you could wrap it round our planet's Equator almost 10 times. By contrast, the farthest any astronaut has been since the Apollo programme ended in 1972 is just 870 miles, on a private mission flown in 2024. In string terms, that's only London to Rome.
