Dubai, Did you know: How long does it take to get to Mars?

1. Depends what propulsion , the size of crew, food suply...but without crew it should arrive around 3 months...but using the new fuel types made from elements in the Mendeleev table, it could be just 3 to 10 times less.
2. it takes 30 seconds. like if you get it.
3. That must have been the most stupid people available in cologne? One sentence, three grammar mistakes and a rude note... and the speaker is german, too, right? 
4. 8 months for a robotic trip. i assume it would take much longer for a human trip because the human body is very limited. robots dont pass out humans do.
5. lol yeah ! but they don't even know how to make it work properly yet mate ^^ it's not for tomorrow. go ITER, Go Cadarache ;)
6. Maximum available speed. Shortest route. Is it really so hard to guess?
7. i heard a new fuel was recently discovered that could take the trip down to 1 month. 1 gallon of gas = i grain of sand of this new fuel
8. The Kessel Run
9. Lol. 300 years......
10. @mercenarieboy to your young to understand this technology ? if Hitler all ready have space program long time ago with greys 60 years ago maybe more. do you think they tell you? 
11. "300 years?" Jajaja! 
12. Use magnets. Its easier.
13. Um... what? No such technology exists and is unlikely to exist for the exist 100-200 years
14. THIS IS big joke mars governments all ready have technology if i ask millitary secret UN technology its take to earth to mars or less 1 hour man but public never released 
15. It would take about 30 days using nuclear fusion propulsion.
16. Oh, I've played KSP like you wouldn't believe, and I would recommend it to everyone wishing to make space travel more tangible! 
17. I would have said: The Mars500 experiment lasted just over 500 days, so dividing by 2, that'd be about a 250 day trip, depends on the path the spacecraft takes.
18. Given Mars' synodic period (that is, from when it, the earth and the sun are in alignment to when they're next in alignment) is about 780 days, I'd assume there's a fair amount of variability in the distance between Earth and Mars. So more helpful than "How long?" would have been the minimum and maximum travel times. Key to any journey would be a craft with a decent amount of shielding - gamma rays are halved by about 5cm lead, but that would make the craft rather heavy to launch.
19. everyone is right!
20. Why travel all that distance to just pose for a few pictures and depart? The NASA plan (a modification of the Mars Direct plan) would get the astronauts there in 6 months in a space habitation that includes artificial gravity 1/3 of Earth, made by revolving the craft around a counterweight (the final rocket stage from the launch from Earth). The astronauts would then explore Mars for 18 months, living in a habitation module launched 2 years earlier, and return when the next launch window opens.
