The average distance from the earth to the moon is approx 384,000 km. However, the moon's orbit around the earth is elliptical and at its closest, the moon is approx 363,000 km away while at its furthest it is 407,000 km away.

So, at 50,000 km per hour, the average distance would take 7.68 hours. The minimum distance would take 7.26 hours while the maximum would take 8.14 hours. But, spacecraft do not go to the moon is a straight line - they first orbit the earth and use the earth's gravity as a kind of slingshot to propel them towards the moon. This may not be the shortest route but it is much more efficient.
