How many years does it take to get to the moon?

Answer 1

It almost 4 billion years for humans to evolve.

5 million years of hominid evolution.

200,000 years of homo sapiens.

10,000 years of the current Holocene Interglacial Period

Rockets were extensively used by the Nazis in WWII, and perhaps that is the first push of rocket development.

The Apollo project was kicked off in 1961

Apollo 11 was launched 13:32:00 GMT, July 16, 1969, Mission Time: 0

Landing: 20:17:39 GMT Jul 20, 1969, Mission time:102:45

Takeoff: 17:54:00 GMT Jul 21, 1969, Mission time: 124:22

Splashdown 16:50:35 GMT Jul 24, 1969, Mission Time: 195:18

So, it was a long road for man to finally arrive at the moon.

The final planning took about 8 years.

And, then 4 days travel time there.

1 day on the moon.

3 days to get back.

One could likely reduce the travel time a considerable amount for an unmanned one-way trip.

It would likely take less planning to do a similar launch today due to incorporating past knowledge, but it would still take a few years to get everything ready.

Answer 2

It takes about three days for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to the moon. With current technology, it is not feasible for humans to travel to the moon using conventional methods such as driving or walking.
