It takes about 4 or 5 days to get from earth to the moon so if you are going to the moon pack enough food,water,and stuff to do
Space shuttles can't go to the moon. They only are made to be in earth orbit. The various Apollo missions that went to the moon took about 3 days to reach it. Space shuttles takes approximately eight minutes to reach space.

What is artifical satellite?
Artificial satellites are human-made, orbital objects sent into space. (There are several thousand of these in orbit around Earth.) Our moon is the only natural satellite that Earth has.Related Information:Since 1957, the term has been applied to objects that orbit the Earth. Now a number of objects have been put into orbit around various planets, moons and even our Sun.NASA currently has a plan to move a small asteroid to a near Earth position in stable orbit. This action has the potential to create an orbiting object that is not man made. It has not yet been established whether this will be termed an artificial, natural, or other type of satellite.There are satellites beaming down television to us, providing pictures for Google earth, positioning for the GPS system, etc.The Space Shuttle Discovery docked with the International Space Station. Both of those assemblies are man-made, and both are in orbit around the earth. When the shuttle returned to earth, you heard about it on TV news. If you get your TV through a little dish on top of your garage, then you received it from another man-made satellite.An artificial satellite is an object which has been placed into orbit by human endeavor. They are called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites like the Moon. Examples of artificial satellites are Communications Satellites and Monitering Satellites.
What are the name of Earth's moons?
The Earth has only one moon so the Earth's moon name is Moon, The Moon or it can be the Latin name "Luna".
The moon is a natural what of the earth?
the moon is a natural satellite of the earth
Which form of energy can travel from the earth to the moon?
Reflected sunlight, for sure, travels from the Earth to the Moon. Reflected sunlight from the Moon also travels to Earth. That is why we can see the Moon.
How long does it take for a shuttle to get to the moon?
The Space Shuttle does not go to the moon. It only orbits the Earth.
How long does it take for the space shuttle to get to the moon?
The Space Shuttle does not travel to the moon, it cannot go further than Low Earth Orbit.
How long did it take the space shuttle to get from Earth to the moon in 1969?
The space shuttle didn't go to the moon. But the Apollo 11 trip took four days.
How long does it take to get to the moon with a space shuttle?
The Space Shuttle is not capable of going to the moon.
Did the space shuttle ever land on the moon?
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
Can the space shuttle travel to the moon?
No. The space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit.
Compare to the distance to the moon how far away is the space shuttle when in space from the earth?
The moon is at an estimated distance of 320 000 km from the Earth. The shuttle is on average 350 km form the surface of the earth... that means that the moon is about 915 times further away from the Earth then the space shuttle!
Did the space shuttle discovery make it to the moon?
No. The Space Shuttle were built for near Earth obital missions.
Has a space shuttle landed on the moon?
No. The space shuttle was only designed for low-Earth orbit, not for going to the moon. The only manned spacecraft to go the the moon were the Apollo landers.
Why does it take less fuel to launch a space shuttle from moon than from earth?
To launch a space shuttle (or anything) you have to overcome gravity. The gravitational attraction of the moon is tremendously less than that of the Earth. The moon is much smaller than the Earth.
How long does it take the space shuttle to reach the moons orbit?
The space shuttle was designed for low earth orbit (between 200-300 nautical miles) and could not reach the moon.
Where did the space shuttle lauch from on the first moon adventure?
It didn't. The Space Shuttle is only a low Earth orbit spacecraft.
