Journey time to Mars, which is approximately 40 million miles away depending on its position in orbit, would be around 200 days. âGoing to Mars would make me feel like I am a true Star Trek officer,â said one applicant, Michael Archavian.
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.
