The Apollo spacecraft en route to the moon traveled at a nearly 25,000 miles per hour. This is the fastest mankind has ever traveled. The earth, at the equator is roughly 25,000 miles in circumference. This makes the math easy, your answer is 1 hour.

Does a rocket always need the escape of 11.2 to escape the earth?

That's the initial speed the rocket would need to escape Earth, assuming it starts close to Earth, and no additional impulse is provided later. With a gradual impulse - for example an ion impulse - i.e., providing impulse over time, it isn't necessary to start with this speed. However, the rocket still needs the same total amount of energy to escape from Earth.

How do space shuttle get into space?

space shuttle orbiters are launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They must not only travel the ~250 miles to reach "space", they must accelerate to over 17,000 mph to maintain orbit around the Earth. The shuttle orbiter uses its 3 main engines along with a pair of solid rocket boosters to do this.
