5 years ...no that's way off... It took the Mars Pheonix lander about 10 months to reach mars back in May 2008 and it takes light (or radio communication) about 10 minutes to travel that distance. It depends if you are using a constant boost ship or not. With a constant boost of 1 gravity, it would take about 2-3 days (you boost to the half way point then flip over and boost the opposite way to slow down). With a constant boost of 1/10 gravity it would take about 7-8 days. With a constant boost of 1/100 gravity it would take about 23 days. With a constant boost of 1/1000 gravity it would take about 73 days. This is the kind of boost you can achieve with "light sails" that use the "pressure" of the light coming from the sun. We are assuming that mars is about midway from the farthest it can be from the earth to the closest it can be from the earth. If mars is farther away it will take a little more and if mars is closer it will take a little less. Also it is interesting that light sail ships take only a little longer to reach Mars than it took the Mayflower to reach America. It took the Mayflower 66 days to reach America.
Depends how fast you are going. The folks at Universe Today, say 214 days, by a Hohmann Transfer Orbit. That means conserving your energy, using the momentum of the earth, and calculating the swing of the orbits, making sure that both planets are on the same side of the sun, to minimize the amount of energy that you use. That's with a chemical rocket. And you need to watch for your window of opportunity, which only opens up every two years or so. A plasma rocket, which can continue to accelerate for half the trip, might make it in 39 days. If you were riding a light beam, you could make it in four minutes, easy. [It only takes eight minutes for the light from the sun to reach the Earth, 93 million miles away.]
Just to give you a ball park on the distances, we on Earth are about 93 million miles from the sun; Mars, as a rough average, is about 143 million miles from the sun, I believe.
It would take about 214 days. And the only chance to launch would be once every 25 months because to conserve fuel rockets follow the Hohmann Transfer Orbit and that is once ever 25 months for mars. Check out "Related link" below.
it will take about 260 days to reach from mars to earth
It depends on how fast the rocket is traveling
dont ask me doofis
your the doofis. he asked the world. i think it takes 8 months. im most likely wrong though. try Google for your answer.this guy is mean i dont like him
At present it takes about 8 months, roughly.
approximately 214 days

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.
it takes 13 hours to get to the moon by a rocket
to mars
it would take at least 197.456 hours to get to mars from earth
It will take you three days to reach the moon.
Take people to the Moon and possibly to Mars.

There is no one in a rocket ship heading to Mars.
A meteorite would crash into a rocket heading towards mars
big rocket
if there is water if it is at the right temperature how long it would take us to get their how much fuel we would need in a rocket to get to mars are their any aliens or harmful animal their is their enough oxygen etc.
Yes, but it would take months fly to mars. The rocket would have to be big. It takes 3 days to get to the moon and look how big the rocket is! You would need to take oxygen, water, food, etc. or you would die.
depends on the rocket... you're clever.
By rocket
the rocket has to have intergalactic shields on its jet
it took the mars pathfinder 211 days to get to mars.
