Compared to the distance to the moon how far away is the space shuttle (when in space)from the earth

The moon is at an estimated distance of 320 000 km from the Earth. The shuttle is on average 350 km form the surface of the earth... that means that the moon is about 915 times further away from the Earth then the space shuttle!
