How long would a manned flight to Mars take?

Question

I mean the actual flight not the planning and preparation to actualize it.

Answer 1

At the current speed of the space program, 3 years.

Answer 2

pretty much the same as a womaned flight, only the girls wouldnt get lost...

about 2 to 2 and a half years each way

Answer 3

3 years, I went on a simulator "trip to Mars" thing ages ago.

I think...

Answer 4

6 to 9 months on a fuel saving trip but just going all out without caring about coming back maybe 3 to 5 months.

Around 3 years, lets say 8 months to get there, and 12 months on Mars, then 8 months back.

Answer 5

Depends on how fast the Spaceship is going - 10 Miles an hour 100 years , 10,000 miles an hour a lot less

Answer 6

According to this information, it would take 6 months for the astronauts to get there and they would stay for two years.

"NASA has formed the Constellation Program to achieve the objectives of maintaining American presence in low Earth orbit, returning to the Moon for purposes of establishing an outpost and laying the foundation to explore Mars and beyond in the first half of the 21st century.

The ultimate mission, a manned mission to Mars, would most likely occur after 2030. Such a mission would most likely follow a "split-sprint" profile in which a return vehicle, with an Orion-derived spacecraft capable of high-speed reentry, would take a slow route to the Red Planet, touching down in a predetermined spot on the Red Planet, while another ship, carrying a six-person crew and their equipment, would then follow on a faster trajectory that would see all six astronauts land on the planet six months after launch, with a total stay time of 2 years, during which a reactor utilizing the Sabatier reaction with the available materials found on the planet will keep the six astronauts alive (by making breathing oxygen from the available carbon dioxide found in the planet's atmosphere) and produce fuel for the return trip home."

After leaving Mars, the crew will most likely make a flyby of Venus during the return trip, with the Orion-derived landing capsule separating from the return vehicle and making a high-speed reentry for a Pacific Ocean splashdown, ending a mission lasting a total of 3 years and culminating in a goal that, if not deferred by the domestic and international issues of the 1960s and 1970s, would have occurred in 1985 as an off-shoot of the Apollo Applications Program.

Answer 7

about 2and1/2 years; round trip - over 6 years

Answer 8

Depends how fast the guys pedal. But definitely several generations or we could all order up a warp drive that'll get there in the blink of an eye. All you need to do is imagine and believe!

Answer 9

About two years.

Answer 10

30 month round trip according to NASA. Link below.
