Excellent comment.

Here are some more interesting things to consider. From the Wiki page on Low Earth Orbit:

"The term LEO region is also used for the area of space below an altitude of 2,000 km (1,200 mi)."

And...

"All crewed space stations to date have been within LEO. From 1968 to 1972, the Apollo program's lunar missions sent humans beyond LEO. Since the end of the Apollo program, no human spaceflights have been beyond LEO."

Verrrry interesting.

We made it 238,000 miles to the Moon AND back on...our....first...and...only....try.

mmhmm
