It would take 8 months because of the rotation around the sun. A spacecraft cannot be launched directly toward a planet because by the time it would arrive, the planet would be long gone, therefor the spacecraft has to travel a much longer distance to intersect the planet.

We need improve our computer technology that grows in geometrical speed to enable the development of self replicating machines capable to mine the asteroids and convert the root materials into production factories. Later, use thousand of spaceships produced by these robots to transport nuclear materials and other elements necessary for life. If we succeed to build this computer technology, then we will be able to terraform in less than 20 years or even less!
Almost 2 years. It depends the location of the planets and when.
A trip from Earth to Mars is an interplanetary trip.
That is solely a question of speed. If Mars was 100 miles away, and you were travelling at 100 miles per hour, it would take 1 hour. NASA plans on about a 9 month trip from the earth for manned flights to mars in the future.
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.
5 MonthsStandard rockets would reach mars in about 7 months. A new plasma engine being developed, called a Vasimr engine, can reach speeds of 123,000 and would shorten the trip to about a month
food, water... you?? ;)
Mars is 206,655,215 km from Earth at its closest (Perihelion). Walking at 3.2kph, the trip would take 7,367 years, 3 months.
It would take a radar signal 3049600 seconds to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars. Divide by 60 to get minutes and divide again to get hours.
The trip to Mars will take about seven months and about 300 million miles (480 million kilometers). During that journey, engineers have several opportunities to adjust the spacecraft's flight path, to make sure its speed and direction are best for arrival at Jezero Crater on Mars
While the exact time depends on the engines used to get there, missions to Mars take approximately 4 months to arrive. Mars and Earth are only lined up properly every 25 months to permit an economical trip to Mars.
First we would have to actually make a successful trip to Mars...

One of the main reasons is because the trip would cost billions of dollars. There is also a lot of radiation between Earth and Mars, that we are unsure of how our bodies would react to. But we know that the risk of developing cancer after visiting Mars would sky-rocket. There is also the "Mars is really far away" problem too. It would just take to long and we don't have the tecnology to ensure the safety of our astronauts.
If you could accelerate steadily and constantly at 1 G for half the trip to Mars and then decelerate steadily at 1G, you could land on Mars in about 1 day, depending on where Mars was in its orbit.Unfortunately, no known spacecraft can accelerate at 1G for more than a few minutes at a time.
The trip will take you about 1 day and a bit by plane Otherwise by car and boat it would take about 3 months
