The greatest distance from Earth that has been reached by human beings is 400 171 kilometers.
This distance was reached by the astronauts of ill-fated "Apollo 13", that was supposed to land on the moon, but his tank of oxygen in the main module exploded.
The three astronauts then used the back-up module, and somehow managed to return to Earth, not touching the surface of the moon.
This event was the inspiration of a movie “Apollo 13” starring Tom Hanks.
