    Voyager 1 is currently the farthest human made object from Earth. It's on the edge of the Solar System. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_program

    The farthest humans have been is the Moon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_program

    Not so far.... We have barely gone any where. The outer space is very big.. enormous in size.. If we had to compare what we have explored its like picking a grain of sand from the beach.. we have just picked one grain of sand and thats it.. There is so much to explore but we do not that the technology... we haven't scouted the whole universe yet.. we have strong telescopes and others still travelling through space at unimaginable speed.. it will take us generations to cover a portion that will make us satisfied.

    Your question is a bit vague.

    How far have we explored? Well in the near future, a probe sent out should be coming up along Pluto. And I also believe another probe has gone outside our solar system, however, I could be wrong on that account.

    Where are we located? We are located in the Milky Way, specifically in one of the spiral arms of the galaxy.

    How far are we from everything? Well, that's interesting, since everything is moving away from us at a constant rate. In other words, the Universe is expanding away from us and we from it. Kind of like a balloon being blown up.

    How far are we in space? Are you asking where Earth is located in space or how far we as a race of human beings has traveled in space? If you're asking the former, Earth is the third planet from the sun in the Solar System that is located in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy. The universe is literally ever expanding so as far as knowing where we are located in it...it's pretty much impossible to tell. However, if you're asking how far we've traveled, then we've sent unmanned probes out at least as far as Pluto, which is at the edge of our solar system and we've been able to take pictures of a few other distant galaxies. to put that into perspective, it would take over four thousand years to drive to Pluto if you were constantly going 70 miles an hour, it's like 2.6 billion miles or around that from Earth to their and Earth is literally a tiny speck in our solar system which is literally a tiny speck in our galaxy which is literally a tiny speck in our universe..

    Kinda puts things into perspective eh?
