The total journey time from Earth to Mars takes between 150-300 days depending on the speed of the launch, the alignment of Earth and Mars, and the length of the journey the spacecraft takes to reach its target. It really just depends on how much fuel youâre willing to burn to get there. More fuel, shorter travel time. The History of Going to Mars.

To determine how long it will take to reach Mars, we must first know the distance between the two planets. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, and the second closest to Earth (Venus is the closest).But the distance between the two planets is constantly changing as they travel around the sun.ere is a list of how long it took several historical missions to reach the red planet. Their launch dates are included for perspective. 1  Mariner 4, the first spacecraft to go to Mars (1964 flyby): 228 days.
