To actually calculate the max speed for an object to break Earth's gravitational field (which all objects going to the moon had to do), you would integrate (yes, calculus) for the terminal velocity of an object at infinity from the Earth to the ground. You assume only potential energy at infinity, then assume only kinetic energy at time = zero. I haven't done this since college, so I'll just start with the equation you have to integrate Potential energy = G*m1*m2/r**2, where G is "big G, not little g. Then kinetic energy is 1/2mv**2. I that is where you start.
Either way it works out to be about 7 miles/sec, or roughly 24-25,000 miles per hour. That is the maximum velocity you would have to attain, and the world record for a human is just about that...set on one of the Apollo missions.
But their actual speeds varied. Once they were in Earth orbit they slowed, and slowed even more as they approached the moon. If they were going to fast approaching the moon, the moon's gravity would not have captured it.
Shortly after launch the vehicle was travelling about 34k ft/sec, or 23,000mph.
22,000 miles from Earth (close to geostationary orbit altitude), speed 12,000ft/sec 8000 mph.
Speeds were much slower for moon orbit.
Apollo 11
Depends on the speed the craft can travel. The Apollo mission took about 3 days
Space Shuttles are designed only for Earth orbiting missions and none has ever gone to the moon. The first manned space craft to reach the moon (in 1969) was an Apollo program Lunar Lander called Eagle.
The Space Shuttle Apollo 11 Was said To have 6 Stages In each Stage The Space shuttle Broke up into Many Smaller Pods Finnally The Command module and the service Module Went stuck together making the 5th Stage The Apollo Space craft was the Actual Thing that landed on the moon.The Apollo Space craft was like a little Command Pod for the 3 Men.
The Apollo 13 mission used the Apollo spacecraft, specifically the Apollo Command Module named "Odyssey" and the Lunar Module named "Aquarius." These craft were used for various purposes during the mission, such as orbiting the Moon and returning the astronauts safely to Earth.
Apollo 11
The part of the space race to reach the moon first, ended when Apollo 11 landed on the moon, becoming the first manned-craft to do so.
the Saturn V rocket carried the Apollo space craft and lunar lander into space the spacecraft itself was like a command center the lunar lander was the actual craft to land on the moon.
You cant walk to the moon you will have to reach there by the space craft, and the time will depend on the speed of the craft.

Apollo 8 was the first manned craft to go to the moon, Apollo 11 was the first to land.

The Apollo is famous for landing the first man on the moon, and returning him back to earth. And the Apollo 13 , bringing back the damaged craft from the moon.
The first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon was Apollo 8, launched by NASA in December 1968. It was the second crewed mission in the Apollo space program and marked the first time humans had traveled beyond low Earth orbit.
