The USA Space Shuttle is not capable of going to the moon.

No robotic or manned moon craft was named Explorer.

The first successful USA moon lander was called Ranger 7 and it touched down on the moon on July 28, 1964. The earlier Pioneer series of moon landers all failed to reach the moon and land. So did the first 6 Ranger craft. The USA Surveyor series of robotic spacecraft first touched down on the moon on May 30, 1966. In total, 7 Surveyor robotic spacecraft were launched toward the moon. Two failed and five were successful.

How long does it take to get to the moon in a space shuttle?

The space shuttle is not designed to go to the moon and has never gone to the moon; it is strictly used for travelling to and from Earth's orbit (and has mostly been used to travel to the International Space Station). If the shuttle were for some reason flown to the moon, it would crash there, since it requires an atmosphere in order to land successfully. However, if it was your intention to fly the shuttle to the moon and crash, that could be done in about 3 days, in theory. I doubt that NASA would approve the mission.
