How long did it take to get the man on the moon?

Answer 1

A healthy person can walk about 5km/h, and the moon is about 384,000 km away form th Earth so if you walked 12 hours a day, stopping only to sleep and eat, it would take about 17 year and 6 months.

Answer 2

The Apollo 11 astronauts were launched July 16th 1969 at 08:32:00 am EST from Kennedy Space Centre. They reached the Moon when they performed a Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) manoeuvre July 19th 12:21:50 pm EST. It took them 3 days, 3 hours, 49 minutes... to fly to the Moon. Faster: The NASA Pluto probe New Horizons flew from the surface of the Earth to the Moon's orbital path in eight hours and thirty-five minutes in January 2006. Cheaper: The ESA SMART-1 lunar probe used an ion engine to fly to the Moon. It was launched September 27th 2003 and was slowly spiralling away from the Earth to the Moon. November 11th 2004 it was captured by the Moon's gravity - after one year, one month and two weeks.

Answer 4

It depends on how fast you are traveling. If you were traveling at 100 kph, it would take around 160 days.
it would take a week or so to get to the moon.
About 3 days
That would depend on how fast you're traversing.

Answer 5

Short answer: Approximately 8 years, 292 days, 19 hours, 46 minutes, and 24.096 seconds if you walk at a constant, uninterrupted speed of 3 miles per hour toward the closest point the moon gets to the Earth (called the perigee).

Long answer and explanation:

The moon is approximately 231,463 miles at perigee (closest point) to approximately 251,968 miles at apogee (farthest point). Assume you are walking at three miles an hour.

Note: If you were to actually walk it, it would take you less time to walk to a point of apogee rather than perigee. And you would influenced along the journey by the gravitational pull of the moon the closer you get. The numbers I came up with are assuming a constant, uninfluenced speed (even by gravity) of 3 miles per hour.

231,463 miles (closest point, perigee)

231463 / 3 miles per hour = 77154.333333 hours

77154.333333 / 24 = 3,214.76389 days

3214.76389 / 365.2425 (average days in a year) = 8.80172458 years

251,968 miles (farthest point, apogee)

251968 / 3 miles per hour = 83989.333333 hours

83989.333333 / 24 = 3,499.55556 days

3,499.55556 / 365.2425 (average days in a year) = 9.58145769 years

236,715.5 miles is the midpoint

236715.5 / 3 miles per hour = 78905.1667 hours

78905.1667 / 24 = 3,287.71528 days

3287.71528 / 365.2425 = (average days in a year) 9.0014587 years

Exact average number of days in a year = 365 + 1/4 - 1/100 + 1/400 = 365.2425 = 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds

Answer 6

From Earth to the Moon takes about 4 days. So he arrived in 4 Earth Days.

Answer 7

Apollo 11 left earth on the 16th July 1969 and reached the moon on the 19th. The lunar landing occurred the next day.

Answer 8

It took about 8 years from President Kennedy's announcement in 1961 to the actual moon landing in 1969. NASA's Apollo program played a critical role in achieving this historic milestone.

Answer 9

For the Apollo 11 spacecraft, it took about 3 days and 1 hour to go from the engine burn used to leave Earth orbit, to the far side of the moon.

Answer 10

The Apollo Moon-landing missions took right around 4 1/2 days, from

the time of launch. But up until then, it took several thousand years.
