The shuttle doesn't go to the moon. It's built for missions in "low earth orbit",

typically 200-300 miles above the surface.

The most recent manned spacecraft built to go to the moon, was the Apollo

vehicle. Those missions took 3 days to get there, and 3 days to get back.

The last Apollo mission flew in 1972. There hasn't been a manned mission to

the moon in the 38 years since then, and none is currently in planning.
