    with a local space-trike it might take a bit, sorry, I don't have experience in that.

    My last trip to the moon for window-shopping was a while back when I sneaked into Apollo 11. I removed the spare-tire from it's compartment and was hiding there. The trip took a bit longer than 3 days. They found me just after the landing procedure.

    A small thing which really messed up my trip was that I am too fat and did not fit in one of the fancy moon-uniforms. Well I send my buddy Neil to buy some stuff and more important some food at some local fast food outlet as I was really hungry after 3 days and what did he do?

    ...jumping around like on LSD, doing some weird speeches about small and big steps steps and forgot totally about me, he never said sorry for that.... :mad:

    anyway, welcome to DI and hope I could help you

    cheers

    I remember four day ordeal in one documentary about early moon travel one way but todays rocket fuel versus then could be like riding on gasoline versus nitroline,,Mars has been rated at a year but i not sure if thats round trip.

    "Days" is only a measurement of time on earth based on one revolution. In space the relative term would be "hours" or "earth hours". Since the moon circles the earth every 28 days, that is also not a relative time.
    But, science was not one of my better subjects.

    I'm sorry, I forgot to answer the question.
    The average, in earth time, is 3 days, 3 hours and 49 minutes. Astronuat time would have been an average of 75 hours and 49 minutes.
    Having a Philippine taxi driver, or a Jeepney driver wod have cut that time considerably.

    Like I said before, Apollo 11 took a bit more than 3 days (earth days) or about 76 earth hours which equals 3 earth days and roughly 4 earth hours to the lunar orbit. the preparation for the actual landing is another story.

    We had a school play about that 78 or 79 and of course I messed it up totally...
