According to NASA’s website and a video produced in 2013, it takes about 3 days from initial launch to reach the International Space Station. However, that same year, a Russian Soyuz vessel made the journey in under 6 hours.
It takes about 3 days to get to space. No one can go to the sun it is to hot.
It would take between 6-9 months to travel from Earth to Jupiter using current space shuttle technology, depending on the position of both planets in their orbits. The distance between Earth and Jupiter varies due to their orbits around the sun.
At the Shuttle's maximum speed of about 30,000 km/hr, it would take more than 16 years to reach Pluto. The "New Horizons" spacecraft was launched by NASA in 2006 and reached a new record velocity for spacecraft, more than 58,000 km/hr. It was further accelerated by a gravity assist from Jupiter in 2007. Even so, it will be June, 2015 before it reaches Pluto, a total mission time of 9 1/2 years.
The sun does not orbit itself!
On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.
Light takes 8 minutes to make the trip. The space shuttle could do it in about 7 months, assuming that it didn't melt on the Sun end of the trip.
The Space shuttle cannot go beyond low earth orbit, but assuming you were traveling at the shuttle's orbital speed of 17,600 mph it would take approximately 7 months to reach the sun (the nearest star to earth), and approximately 160,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the sun.
In a car travelling 140 km/h it would take you 123 years. A space shuttle going at ~288000 km/h would take you about a month.
the shuttle has some sort of protective paint which protects the hull from the nuclear particles the sun releases into space.
It would take about 6.7 years to travel from Earth to Saturn in a space shuttle using current technology. This estimate includes the time needed for trajectory planning, acceleration, deceleration, and accounting for the varying distances between Earth and Saturn as they orbit the Sun.
How long it takes a spacecraft to reach Mars depends on the changing distances between Mars and Earth as they orbit the sun, and other factors. Trips are usually planned for when Mars will be closest to Earth; the shortest is about three months. None of NASA's Space Shuttle fleet are capable of making the trip, and the remaining shuttles are due to be retired.
a very long time.average speed of the space shuttle orbiting the earth is around 17,000 miles per hour.the distance from earth to mercury is about 43,000,000 miles.so traveling at 17,000 mph it would take about 2,529 hours or about 105 days to get to mercury.I might be wrong.

The exterior of a space shuttle in orbit can experience extreme temperatures that range from about -250°F in the shade to over 250°F in the sun. This is due to the vacuum of space and the unfiltered exposure to the intense solar radiation. As a result, the shuttle's thermal protection system is critical for managing these temperature differentials and keeping the internal systems safe.
It would take between 6-9 months to travel from Earth to Jupiter using current space shuttle technology, depending on the position of both planets in their orbits. The distance between Earth and Jupiter varies due to their orbits around the sun.
This is problematic as neither planet is stationary and both revolve around the Sun at different speeds. Additionally, one would have to take in the traveling speed of the craft, its ability to maintain that speed, its payload of fuel, whether it is intended to be a one way trip, and a myriad of other variables.
