How far from Earth could Orion go? Besides the moon, where else will one be able to go with Orion?

I'm guessing that the life support capability is the limit, but assuming it's remotely piloted, how far could it go and still be able to return in one piece?

Was it ever specified what will be the minimum crew? Will one person be able to fly it?

My point is that in the Apollo era, some Venus flyby missions have been considered (correct me if I'm wrong). Would the same be possible with Orion?

All times are CT (US)
