NASA's uncrewed Orion spacecraft has surpassed the record set in 1970 by the crew on Apollo 13's aborted mission to land on the Moon. NASA's uncrewed Orion spacecraft reached the farthest distance from Earth during the Artemis I mission -- 268,563 miles (432,210) from our home planet. The earlier record was set during the Apollo 13 mission at 248,655 miles (400,171 kms) from Earth.
