There were 6 apollo missions that went to the moon, apollo 11 thru 17 with apollo 13 being the one Tom Hanks did the movie about where they had problems and were lucky just to get home again. In each mission there were three spacemen, one poor guy just went to fly the rocket, the other two were lucky enough to go all the way to the surface of the moon. Each mission landed in different locations and in total there were 12 men who have been there and back - only nine of them are still alive today. A good book called Moondust tells you everything about the apollo missions.

Jumbo jets travel at about 900 km/hr, and the moon is 384400 km from earth, so it would take about 18 days to get to the moon going that fast.\n\nHowever, jumbo jets work under the principles of lift propulsion, which requires air.  Since there is no air between the earth and the moon, the jet would be doomed shortly after takeoff.

A month. That's why we only see one side of the moon. (Hence the Pink Floyd song Dark Side of the Moon). :)

I saw this live on TV when it happened.  The flag did move.  Armstrong and Aldrin had to stand it up.  When they stood it up, they started it swinging.  It is swung like a pendulum.  And, because there is no atmosphere on the moon, there is no air resistance to slow it down.  Simple science.

Man has landed on the moon six times.  Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 (Apollo 13 never landed as it had to abort its mission due to problems en route).

Edwin Eugene (Buzz) Aldrin Jr<br />\n"On July 20, 1969, Aldrin became the second human being to set foot on the moon. He was joined Neil Armstrong on the surface for two hours of ceremonies and moon rock collecting."

Yes, he walked on the moon. Why would the gvt have spent all that money to pull off one big hoax? Money they didn't actually have in those days. Its not like today where a billion dollars is a drop in the bucket.\n\nI feel bad for Neil Armstrong. He walked on the moon and now some asshats are trying to say he didn't. It must feel terrible to have people doubt him.

The last person to step on the Moon was Harrison "Jack" Schmitt in December of 1972 aboard Apollo 17. He was the only scientist to ever go there. His Commander for the flight was Gene Cernan. Gene Cernan was actually the last person to be on the Moon because Jack Schmitt climbed back up into the Lunar Module first leaving Gene Cernan still on the surface. Mr. Cernan wrote a book called "The Last Man on the Moon" that I highly recommend reading. Another book called simply "A Man on the Moon" by Andrew Chaikin is probably the best one you can find on reading about all the people that made the trip. It's over 800 pages long (YIKES) and was then broken up into three separte picture books that shows you the actual pictures on the Moon as the author describes it. It's kind of like being there yourself!!!

How far is it from Earth to the moon?\nIt is about 250,000 miles from Earth to the moon.

The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 kilometers.  Naismith's Rule of Thumb is 5 kilometers/hour.  Assuming the trip from the Earth to the Moon is level, the trip would take 76,880.6 hours (384,403/5) or 3202.4 days or 8.8 years if you traveled 24 hours per day.  If you allow for 6 hours of sleep a day, it would take 4271.1 days or 11.7 years.\n\nIf one was to count the entire distance to the moon as an ascension, this would add 507,338 hours (304,403 *1000 to convert to meters. 304,403,000/300 = 1,014,676 - the number of 1/2 hours to add.  1,014,676/2=507,338 - number of hours).\n\nThis would make the total trip time 584,218 hours or 24,342 days or 66.7 years.\n\nBetter pack a lunch...

Apollo 11.\n\nApollo 11 was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo program, the third human voyage to the moon, and the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It launched on July 16, 1969 carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. On July 21, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.\n\nThe mission fufilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a human on the Moon by the end of the 1960s and returning them safely to the Earth.

It would depend on the route you took.  But it would be a trip lasting several months at least, that's for sure.  It took the Mariner 10 spacecraft about five months (146 days) to reach Mercury in 1974.
