few hours to go out of the atmosphere (which is only 11 km high!) and a few days to go to the moon and back, but nobody’s been there for a long time!

It depends on how fast you can travel! It takes about one hundredth of a second for light to travel from the moon to the Earth. The Apollo missions took a few days to get to the moon, but new rockets can get there much faster, the record is eight and a half hours.

Space isn’t that far away. If the world were a beach ball then the atmosphere would be the thickness of a layer of paint on that beach ball, so it doesn’t take very long to get there. If you could drive straight up in a car it would only take 10min! We can’t do that though, and rockets take a while to get up to the speed needed, so it takes a few hours.

Thank you, Would you ever go to the moon?
Clare commented on :
I’d love to go to the moon if I had the chance!
Ezzy commented on :
Yeah I’d go to the moon! I’d love to go to space at all really, but I don’t think that’s likely unless I can russel up the million or so it costs of the Virgin Space fligh thing.
Zaynah Younis commented on :
The Virgin Space thing looks like it costs a lot. They also have a space port in america I think!
