The average speed of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on its journey to the Moon was approximately 3,600 kilometers per hour (2,237 miles per hour).
Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to ever land on the moon. Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to actually travel to the moon, but they did not land.
From Apollo by the Numbers (see link below) the Apollo 11 spacecraft is estimated to have traveled 828,743 nautical miles (953,700 statute miles).
the speed required to exit earth gravity is 11 killometers per second, so somewhat faster than this. ~zero
Apollo 11 accelerated to about 25,000 miles per hour. It broke free from the earth's gravity and slowed to a lower speed for translunar injection or orbit.
Apollo 11 overcame Earth's gravity by using a powerful rocket called the Saturn V. The rocket had multiple stages that ignited in sequence to propel the spacecraft into space. Once in space, the spacecraft's speed allowed it to escape Earth's gravitational pull and travel to the Moon.
