6 Apollo craft have landed on the moon each with 2 astonauts on the moon lander and one man in the orbital craft. Apollo 11,12,14,15,16,17 have all landed on the moon.\nThese 12 men are the only people to have landed on the moon.

The Apollo missions that had to get to the moon had to hit 25,000 to get out of Earth orbit and for certain maneuvers around the moon. The space shuttle and/or ISS orbits the Earth at speeds between 17,000MPH and 18,000 MPH.\n\nUnmanned Spaceborn:\nHelios probes orbiting the sun hit 252,800 km/h in 1974.\n\nManned Airborn:\nOct. 3, 1967, the X-15A-2, piloted by Major William J. Pete' Knight, went Mach 6.7 (4,520 m.p.h.) above the Mojave Desert. Record stood until broken by the Space Shuttle in 1980. Highest altitude reached by X-15A was 354,200 ft.\n\nThe fastest air-breathing, manned vehicle, the SR-71, achieved slightly more than Mach 3 back in 1964. Chuck Yeager hit Mach 1 in 1947 with the X-1.\n\nUnmanned Airborn:\nRecently the unmanned speed record (in proximity to the earth anyway) was broken. The X43A hit Mach 9.6+. Scramjets are thought to be capable of hitting Mach 15+.\nexternal link\n\nManned Ground:\nMach 1.016 in the "ThrustSSC" by Andy Green in 1997.\nexternal link\n\nUnmanned Ground:\nA rocket sled hit Mach 8.5 (unmanned)

Tons!\n\nA moon is simply a large object that orbits a planet.\n\nThere are a total of 137 moons in our solar system. Here's the list of names and associated planets (see sources):

Ok here it goes: The distance to the moon is 384,401km The length of a twinkie is 9.9cm. There are 100,000cm in 1km. That means there are 10,101 twinkies per km. So the distance to the moon 384,401 multiplied by the number of twinkies in a km 10,101 would equal 3,882,834,501. \n\nSo you need 3,882,834,501 twinkies to reach the moon.

The average distance from earth to moon is 238855 miles.

twelve americans have stepped onto the lunar soil. they are, in order, neil a armstrong and edwin e aldren (apollo 11), charles conrad and alan bean (apollo 12), alan b shepard and edgar d mitchell (apollo 14), david r scott and james b irwin (apollo 15), john w young and charles m duke (apollo 16), and eugene a cernan and harrison h schmidt (apollo 17).\n\nthe second was edwin e aldren.

Zero is the absolute wrong answer to your question.\n \nThere have been 12 Americans to walk on the Moon. 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!!!\n There are literally hundreds of thousands of photos from the six lunar landing missions that you can see at a number of NASA websites. \nDon't ever let anyone tell you that the Moon Landings were a hoax. For every "proof" that these people come up with to "prove" the hoax theory, there is a relatively easy explanation to shoot them down. Besides, there are 958[?] pounds of Lunar Rock that they brought back that thousands of scientists have examined and not one of them have ever said that any of these rocks and "soil" could have ever come from the Earth. The reason being that they have never been exposed to water on the inside or out which is quite impossible for Earth rocks. Plus several of them are older than any Earth rock that anyone has ever found!\nThree of these men are no longer with us, so there are only nine people alive that have walked on the Moon. He are there names, from the first to the last person on the Moon: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin-Apollo 11, Pete Conrad (deceased)and Alan Bean- Apollo 12, Alan Shepard (deceased)and Ed Mitchell- Apollo 14, Dave Scott and Jim Irwin (deceased)- Apollo 15, John Young and Charlie Duke-Apollo 16, and finally Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt- Apollo 17.

Look at how many sattelites we put up... there is something wrong with your reasoning, you're ignoring a lot of the facts.  How is it more difficult now?  A civilian recently built and flew his own spacecraft into space 3 times successfully.  Hundreds of satellites are orbiting the earth as we speak.  How does it seem space travel is more difficult?  We have several astronauts in a spacestation right now... Civilians have purchased tickets into space, the people on the space station have been relieve, replaced, etc multiple times... As far as the moon goes, there really isn't/wasn't any reason to go back, not a whole lot there if ya know what I mean ;)  They're working on mars projects continuously... just because a few landers and orbiters crash doesn't mean things are more difficult.  If you do some research you will find literally hundreds of crashes, mislaunches, explosions, and other quality errors; the old times make the number and degree of current mistakes seem almost trivial.  Science and technology have proven themselves time and time again when it comes to space, and it keeps getting better.

It takes the moon roughly 28 days to orbit the Earth.  Divide that into the number of minutes in a day (1440), and there's your 50 minutes.

With or without stopping to ask for directions?\n\nIf the moon is (on average) 185,000 miles away and you drive 70 miles an hour, you'll get there in about 2600 hours, or somewhere around 110 days.\n\nRemember the moon is also moving, so you'll have to aim for the point in space where the moon will be when you get there ... and you'd better be going faster than 70 mph when you get there because the Moon won't wait up -- it's revolving around the Earth much faster than that.

238,855 miles give or take a couple miles (seriously, it varies)\n\nI used Frink to look it up.  Frink is an incredibly handy calculation tool on the web.\n\n\nWikipedia says the moon is an average distance of 238,857 miles from the earth. I just checked with it to verify the accuracy of Frink, which looks pretty good.\n\nNeither the moon nor the Earth are perfectly round.  In fact, the Earth is kind of pear-shaped and has some rather high mountain ranges on its surface.\n\nAfter you are done doing serious analysis of the moon you should play around with Frink; it is pretty amazing and has built-in constants defined in it for all kinds of measurements having to do with the earth and moon. It also makes it very easy to convert values to different units of measurement.

It depends on what you are sending.  The Apollo missions were the last set of *manned* missions to the moon, and here is the travel time:\nLaunched: 16 July 1969 UT 13:32:00 (09:32:00 a.m. EDT)<br />\nLanded on Moon: 20 July 1969 UT 20:17:40 (04:17:40 p.m. EDT)\nIt took about 4 days to get there.  Rocket technology has not change too much since then so you can expect that getting people to the moon at this point would take about the same amount of time.\nIf you are dealing with a non-human payload, you may be able to cut down time, both because it is likely lighter, and because you don't need to worry as much about damaging G-forces.\nI've included a link that has the history of all missions to the moon, manned and unmanned.
