At a distance of 238,900 miles from Earth, it would take you about 4.7 months to reach the moon at 70 miles per hour.
24,901 miles at 500 mph would require 2.08 days.
It all depends upon the acceleration. A fast car can probably do it in under 10 seconds. Driving economically would take much longer. A jet plane can do it quicker.
The earth's escape velocity is approx 25,000 miles per hour so at 70 mph you would ot be able to leave earth!Space rockets do not travel in a straight line. Instead, they first orbit the earth and then use a kind of sling-shot effect to travel across space. The distance travelled, therefore bears little relation to the distance between the earth and the moon.However, a journey as long as the earth-moon distance, at 70 mph, would take a little over 142 days.
