long time compare to earth
they would travel in a space shuttle
It would take about 6.7 years to travel from Earth to Saturn in a space shuttle using current technology. This estimate includes the time needed for trajectory planning, acceleration, deceleration, and accounting for the varying distances between Earth and Saturn as they orbit the Sun.
A space shuttle traveling at its maximum speed of about 17,500 miles per hour would take around 5.5 years to reach Saturn, which is about 746 million miles away on average. This estimation does not account for factors such as orbital mechanics and launch windows, which are important considerations for interplanetary travel.
The space shuttle is not capable of leaving low earth orbit, a rocket like what the Apollo missions used (although much bigger) would be required.
It takes approximately 3 days for a space shuttle to reach the moon from Earth. This timeline includes the launch, travel time, and lunar orbit insertion.

In space, they don't. If they are in a space shuttle, however, they would move themselves using handlebars attached to the shuttle designed specifically for propelling themselves.

Assuming that the maximum speed of a Space Shuttle is 17,500 miles per hour, it would take about 24 days.
About an hour and a half.

The space shuttle propulsion system isn't powerful enough to get to the moon let alone Saturn. The space shuttle gets up to a speed of about 4 miles per second maximum which is enough to then coast in earth orbit for many days but not enough to get more than a few hundred miles up. That's why it is so easy to see from the ground - it's not that far up. Using existing technology Nasa has estimated a manned trip to mars would take about 3 months. Saturn at its closest would be about 10 times farther than mars. So to get there in less than 30 months would require an even more powerful rocket than planned for mars.
The Space Shuttle orbiter, with a length of 122.17 feet and a wingspan of 78.06 feet, was the largest space shuttle. The Space Shuttle program operated a total of five orbiters: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.
The space shuttle is not designed to leave low earth orbit; it cannot even make it to the moon within it design peramaters. Spacecraft in general can make it to Saturn within 2 years, although that depends on where the rest of the solar system is, if "gravity assist slingshots" can be used and many other factors. A manned mission would also have to consider the same factors for a return trip to earth. Assuming a route was found that it would only take 2 years in and 2 years back, that route may only be available one time every 25 years (as an example).
