It typically takes about 3 days for a manned spacecraft to travel from Earth to the Moon. For example, the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 took approximately 75 hours and 49 minutes (just over 3 days) to reach the Moon and land

. The fastest Apollo mission, Apollo 8, took about 69 hours and 8 minutes to enter lunar orbit

. The exact travel time depends on factors such as the spacecraft’s speed, trajectory, propulsion system, and mission profile (whether orbiting, landing, or flying by the Moon)

. Some unmanned spacecraft have taken longer or shorter times depending on their mission goals and technology-for instance, New Horizons reached the Moon’s orbit in about 8 hours and 35 minutes, but that was a flyby mission with a very high speed

. In summary, for typical crewed missions, the travel time to the Moon is around 2 to 3 days, with historical Apollo missions averaging about 3 days to reach lunar orbit or surface
