How long would it take you to drive a car to the moon at 70 miles per hour?

Answer 1

• 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.
