The farthest any human has been removed from his nearest living fellow human is 3596.4 km 2,234.69 miles, in the case of the command module pilot Alfred M. Worden on the US Apollo 15 lunar mission of 30 Jul-1 Aug 1971, while David Scott and James Irwin (1930-91) were at Hadley Base exploring the surface.

For some, being separated from your companions might be an unsettling prospect – but not Al Worden. “First off, you wish them luck: ‘I hope you land okay!’” he recounted to the BBC in 2014. “The second thought is: ‘Gee I’m glad they’ve gone because I’ve got this place all to myself.’”
