The Moon is a whopping 250,000 miles / 400,000 kilometers away from us - about 10 times the circumference of Earth. It would take you about 6 months going at an average speed of 60 miler per hour.

It turns out that, depending on the vehicle and the route taken, the journey could take a half a year! Of course, there are a few things to consider before embarking on such a road trip. For starters, you'll need a vehicle with enough range to make the trip without stopping for gas. You'll also need to account for the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon, which will affect your fuel consumption.
