The flight time to the Moon for the Apollo missions (1968-1972) was about 3 days.
3 days
The standard answer is that it took Apollo 11 - 3 days to get to the moon. The only problem that I have with that is that NASA also claims that the capsule was traveling approximately 15,000 MPH. The simple Rate x Time = Distance is all we need to check that.
But Doing the math doesn’t add up:
252,088 Mi➗15,000 MPH=16.8 hrs
So that math indicates that it should have taken 16 hrs and 48 minutes to get there.
At 3 Days (72 hrs) a different rate of speed is calculated.
252,088Mi ➗72hrs = 3,500 mph
I’m not proclaiming that they didn’t actually go, but why doesn’t the facts match up with the check math? 🤔
It took Apollo 12 3 days to reach the moon.
It took roughly three days to reach the moon.
It took the Apollo 11 crew three days to reach the moon.
it took exactly 10 hours and 46 minutes for the apollo six to reach the moon
It would take them roughly three days to reach the moon.
It took Apollo 12 3 days to reach the moon.

The Apollo missions took about three days to reach the moon from earth orbit
For the Apollo Missions, it took on an average of 4 days to reach the moon.
It took a little over three days to land from earth on the moon.
It took Apollo 11 three days to travel from Earth to the moon.
Apollo 11 took of to reach the moon and back.
It took 3 days for Apollo 11 to reach the Moon after leaving Earth orbit.
It depends on how fast you are traveling, Apollo astronauts orbited the moon for three days,then landed on the surface the fourth day.
