What was the last manned landing on the moon and how long were the on for?
Apollo 17, the last manned moon landing, was in December of 1972 and they were on the surface for 72 hours (22 hours of which were spent outside the LM on EVA)
How long does it take to get to space from earth?
Not very long at all; Apollo 11, for instance, entered orbit about 12 minutes after takeoff.A few minutes, in a rocket. "Space" is normally defined as an altitude of about 100 km. or so - at that altitude, the Earth's atmosphere becomes insignificant.
How long did Alan Shepard orbit Earth?
His famous first flight, on May 5 of 1961, when he became the first American in space and the crowds went wild, was a sub-orbital flight. He went up and he came down, there was no orbit, and the whole thing was over in less than 20 minutes. Later, in 1974, aboard Apollo 14 on the way to the moon, the Saturn third stage with the Apollo command module and LEM stayed in earth orbit for a while before they got the 'go for TLI'; that wasn't more than a few hours, before they re-lit the candle, broke out of earth orbit, and headed for the moon.
How many times did nasa make a space shuttle before the first moon landing?
None. The space shuttle came after the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo projects (Apollo got us to the moon.) The space shuttle was intended to be a freighter of sorts - ferrying materials, satellites and people from Earth's surface to low earth orbit (LEO) and possibly to one or more space stations in geosynchronous orbit. The shuttle was never intended for long distance flights to the moon or further**. They are to be retired next year (2010.) The first space shuttle launch was in 1981, 12 years after the first moon landing in 1969 and 9 years after the last manned trip to the moon. {If you use the official term for a moon landing, both manned and unmanned, then the Soviet Union landed an unmanned vehicle on the moon in 1966, 15 years before the first space shuttle launch.) ** Half of the shuttle (the black underbelly) is landing/shield tiles that burn off as it lands: if you were making a ship for space (and not our atmosphere) you wouldn't need these tiles, you'd need shielding but not the tiles.
How long was Apollo 11's crew quarantined?
The Apollo 11 astronauts entered quarantine immediately after landing on July 24, 1968 in an Airstream trailer and later the Lunar Receiving Laboratory. Quarantine ended on August 13, 1969.
How long does it takes for Apollo missions to get to the moon from earth?
Approximately 3 days to reach lunar orbit. Apollo missions orbited the moon for several minutes before landing. # Apollo 11 lifted off at 13:32:00 GMT on 16 Jul 1969 # Lunar orbit was achieved at 17:27:47 GMT on 19 Jul 1969 # Lunar landing occurred at 20:17:39 GMT on 20 Jul 1969
How long did Apollo 11 take from launching to landing on earth?
It took roughly six days.
What was the last manned landing on the moon and how long were the on for?
Apollo 17, the last manned moon landing, was in December of 1972 and they were on the surface for 72 hours (22 hours of which were spent outside the LM on EVA)
How long would it take to travel to the moon by rocket?
Apollo took on average 2.9 days from leaving Earth orbit to injection into Lunar orbit, and basically the same on return.
How long does it take to travel from the moon to the earth?
The Apollo missions took about three days to reach the moon from earth orbit

How long it takes to get to the moon?
Depends on what you want to do when you get there. Interplanetary probes make the journey in about a day. The Apollo lunar landing missions took about 3 days the travel the same distance.
How long in orbit time from our time does it take to get to the moon?
The Apollo spacecraft that carried men to the moon and back in the 1960s and 70s, took about three days in each direction.
How long is Apollo 6 from wing to wing?
Not only was there no Apollo 6, but the Apollo spacecraft did not have wings.
