5 years ...no that's way off... It took the Mars Pheonix lander about 10 months to reach mars back in May 2008 and it takes light (or radio communication) about 10 minutes to travel that distance. It depends if you are using a constant boost ship or not. With a constant boost of 1 gravity, it would take about 2-3 days (you boost to the half way point then flip over and boost the opposite way to slow down). With a constant boost of 1/10 gravity it would take about 7-8 days. With a constant boost of 1/100 gravity it would take about 23 days. With a constant boost of 1/1000 gravity it would take about 73 days. This is the kind of boost you can achieve with "light sails" that use the "pressure" of the light coming from the sun. We are assuming that mars is about midway from the farthest it can be from the earth to the closest it can be from the earth. If mars is farther away it will take a little more and if mars is closer it will take a little less. Also it is interesting that light sail ships take only a little longer to reach Mars than it took the Mayflower to reach America. It took the Mayflower 66 days to reach America.
it would take at least 197.456 hours to get to mars from earth
The first rocket sent to Mars was the Soviet Union's Mars 1 in 1960. However, communication was lost before it reached the planet.
it takes 13 hours to get to the moon by a rocket
That totally depends on the weight of the rocket, but most manned rockets take about 8 1/2 minutes to reach orbit.
NASA's new rocket is named Space Launch System (SLS). It is designed to take humans beyond low Earth orbit, including missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
Take people to the Moon and possibly to Mars.

There is no one in a rocket ship heading to Mars.
depends on the rocket... you're clever.
if there is water if it is at the right temperature how long it would take us to get their how much fuel we would need in a rocket to get to mars are their any aliens or harmful animal their is their enough oxygen etc.
A meteorite would crash into a rocket heading towards mars
Yes, but it would take months fly to mars. The rocket would have to be big. It takes 3 days to get to the moon and look how big the rocket is! You would need to take oxygen, water, food, etc. or you would die.
big rocket
By rocket
the rocket has to have intergalactic shields on its jet
Using current technology: it can take as little as 6 months and as long as a year to get to mars at optimum position
a rocket....??
