How long does it take to get to the moon in a space shuttle?

The space shuttle is not designed to go to the moon and has never gone to the moon; it is strictly used for travelling to and from Earth's orbit (and has mostly been used to travel to the International Space Station). If the shuttle were for some reason flown to the moon, it would crash there, since it requires an atmosphere in order to land successfully. However, if it was your intention to fly the shuttle to the moon and crash, that could be done in about 3 days, in theory. I doubt that NASA would approve the mission.


Before the space shuttle what was used to travel of space?

Before the space shuttle, spacecraft such as the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs were used to travel in space. These spacecraft were designed for specific missions like orbital flights, spacewalks, and moon landings.


Where does the space shuttle travel in space?

The space shuttle only goes into Earth orbit, no other place, ever. It can't go to the Moon as it is too heavy for available rockets to take it there, and there is no air on the Moon for its wings to do any landing.
