Apollo took 3 days to go to the Moon. Any space craft planning to stop at the Moon will take 3 days to get there. The New Horizons unmanned space craft recently sent to Pluto took only 9 hours to pass the Moon, but it didn’t stop. It was going WAY too fast to stop even if it wanted to.
The various unmanned space craft that have been sent to Mars all took about 8 to 10 months to get there.
The New Horizons space craft passed Jupiter 11 months after launch.
The New horizons space craft will take 9 years to get to Pluto.
On August 4 2007 NASA launched the Phoenix space craft to Mars. It will take 10 months to get there,arriving May 25, 2008.
NASA has no firm plans for another mission to the Moon in the next few years. They are planning to send new manned missions there in 2020 or so, but those plans may change.
1. 1 day, 6 months, 9 months, 8 years
2. 20 or 30 years If they decide to do it.
this is just my estimate. factors include:
how much fuel you want to use
how big the space craft is
I assume an assembly and launch from space
I assume 1 g of acceleration.
