How long does it take to travel to the moon?

How long does it take the astronauts to travel to the moon in days/weeks/months (how ever long it takes) not in light years? Also how often do people go to the moon?How long does it take to travel to the moon?It took the Apollo astronauts about 4 days to get to the moon - they left the Earth going about 25,000 mph, but slowed down all the way, until finally the lunar gravity took over.



The first lunar mission (without landing) was December, 1968. The last manned mission was December, 1972. The first landing was Apollo 11, on July 20, 1969.

There were 9 trips to the moon, 7 went to land, but one (Apollo 13) aborted it's mission due to an explosion. So there were 6 successful landings, 12 men walked on it's surface, and 24 men made the trip. (3 of those guys went twice... Jim Lovell was on Apollo 8 and Apollo 13, John Young was on Apollo 10 and Apollo 16, and Gene Cernan was on Apollo 10 and Apollo 17.) How long does it take to travel to the moon? Alice never actually went but was told of that opportunity on several occasions . It actually depends on weather one uses a gasoline or a diesel rocket as the diesels are generally heavier . It has been stated that the when the cow jumped that it only took her approximately 45 minutes to go over the moon though , technically she never actually made a landing . Last time I went it only took a brief moment . How often do people go ? None are allowed more than 5 moon passes a year . If the moon police actually identify you as making more than the allotted 5 trips in any given year your moon pass is subject to termination .How long does it take to travel to the moon?That depends on how fast you travel to get there, doesn't it?
