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.
