That's a hard number to state with any real accuracy. The first three missions took place on foot, making the walked distance slightly easier to chart, but the final three had LRV's, so while they certainly did walk quite a bit, the distance was not captured or recorded.
the following distances were taken from NASA's history website (see Related Links below)
A-11: 1km (3,300 ft)
A-12: 2.3 km (7600 ft)
A-14: 4 km (13,100 ft)
A-15 [LRV]: 27.9km (15.1 nautical mi)
A-16 [LRV]: 26.9km (14.5 nautical mi)
A-17 [LRV]: 35.7km (19.3 nautical mi)
Total walking distance: 7.3km (4.5 statute mi)
Total driving distance: 90.5km (56.2 statute mi)
Total combined traverse distance: 97.8km (60.7 statute mi)

Nope, in fact no astronauts have gone to the moon since December, 1972. These days astronauts never get further than 150 or so miles above the Earth's surface.
astronauts leave earth by the liftoff of the space shuttle and rockets, it is called force of the rocket. The engine starts and liquid fuel comes out of the rocket and pushes them up.
The lunar module that carried Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the surface of the moon and back to the command module was called 'Eagle". The command module that remained in orbit around the moon and eventually carried all three astronauts back to earth was called "Columbia".
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
They use parachutes on their module to slow down and then land safely in the water to be fished out later.
no there is no air in the surface of the moon
All the astronauts used by N.A.s.A have walked on the surface of the earth.
The Eagle landing module was abandoned in the moons orbit after the astronauts returned to the Columbia command module. When the Columbia and crew returne dto Earth the Eagle crashed back to the the moons surface. The Columbia module is in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
Because the gravity of the moon is only 1/3 of that on Earth.
Oh but it does affect astronauts on its surface. When Apollo astronauts traveled tothe moon and worked there, they landed, stood, hopped, walked, kneeled, drove, andset their tools on the surface. None of that would have been possible without thefamiliar effects of gravity, albeit 84 percent weaker than on earth.

Once all three astronauts were in the command module the lunar module was released to crash in the moon. Once the surface mission was complete there was no longer any use for the lunar lander, it could not survive reentry back on the earth, so instead it was decided they would use it for scientific purposes. Part of the science equiment left on the moon by the astronauts was designed to measure and record "moon-quakes". By crashing the lunar module into the surface of the moon they were able to make valuable discoveries about the composition of the mooni tself.
about 5% of radiation is lost before reaching Earth's surface
they are all in orbit so when they come to the surface of the earth they feel nausia

After astronauts arrive at Mars they will need to wait 15.4 months for the Earth and Mars to line up right before they launch In order to make it back home.
earth eagle!
