The only humans to have gone as far away as these satellites were the 25 or so astronauts of Apollo 8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16, and 17. Even then, it cost a lot more than $20 million to get there. The shuttles don't get much above 220 miles from the Earth. Geo-stationary orbit is more like 22 THOUSAND miles. And those guys who visited the Moon, well that's a whole QUARTER MILLION MILES from home. Or say 1000 times farther away than any man has traveled in the last 35 plus years. Sad.
