LIVE Techno – The moon is becoming the ‘prim donna’ for a number of countries. The United States (US) even intends to travel back there after the last manned mission, Apollo 17 in 1972.
Then actually, how long does it take to travel to the Moon? Maybe the answer will be different, depending on the technology on the vehicle and the distance of the Moon from Earth during the mission.
Meanwhile, the average travel time to the Moon using booster rockets is about three days. This is the fastest non-stop flight ever achieved, achieved by NASA’s New Horizons probe (Aviation and Space Agency), only 8 hours 35 minutes while heading to Pluto.
Currently, the fastest manned flight to the moon is Apollo 8. The spacecraft entered lunar orbit just 69 hours and 8 minutes after launch, according to NASA.
In order to know how long it will take to get to the Moon, we must first know how far it is.
The average distance between Earth and the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers), according to NASA. But because the Moon does not orbit Earth in a perfect circle, its distance from Earth is not constant.
