Why didn't they have a gps LOCATING device on the challenger?

Would not have helped. The blast separated the craft into too many pieces. Even one in the crew capsule (which survived the blast) would not have helped. The black boxes in the crew capsule recorded all the details of the flight up to impact with the water which crushed the crew capsule, killed the crew, and interrupted the crew capsule backup power on which the black boxes (and any locating GPS if present) were operated. The crew capsule was located after weeks of analyzing radar tracking data, filtering out small debris pieces plus tracking camera footage then computing its freefall trajectory.

How long does it take a space capsule to reach Earth?

The time it takes for a space capsule to reach Earth can vary depending on its mission profile and entry angle. Typically, it takes about 30 minutes to an hour from the moment the capsule begins its re-entry until it lands. For example, NASA's Crew Dragon capsule usually takes around 30 to 40 minutes from re-entry to splashdown. However, this duration can be influenced by factors such as the capsule's speed and trajectory.
