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.

What are the roles of the space shuttle and the space station in the space program?

The ISS and shuttle programs were designed as a stepping stone to interplanetary travel. The programs test the ability of humans to endure long periods of exposure to living in space and conduct experiments on long term affects of space travel. Space travel to other planets would be best initiated outside the earths atmosphere and the Space Shuttle, as the name implies is the vehicle designed to transcend earth's atmosphere with equipment, supplies and astronauts.
