how many gallons of gasoline does it take to get from the north star to the moon?

Answer 1

~If you make the trip in a state of suspended animation or travel by time warp or via a wormhole, you can make the trip on a bottle of beer and and a shot. You can also get by with less than a gallon of gas because they stopped making internal combustion space ships with Jules Verne.

Answer 2

Ok, according to this website: http://www.astro.uu.nl/~strous/AA/en/antwoorden/sterren.html#1
Polaris, the North Star, "is located about 430 lightyears ( a lightyear is just under 6,000,000,000,000 miles long ) is from Earth. In a car going 100 miles per hour that never stops, it would take you about 30,000,000,000 years to travel that distance."

So, in in an old full size 70s car with a gas guzzler engine, getting around 10 miles to the gallon, it would take about 600 billion gallons of gas. For a newer, small, gas friendly compact getting 50 miles per gallon, it would take about 120,000,000,000 (120 billion) gallons of gas to travel from the moon to the North Star, Polaris.

Answer 3

We are a little beyond gasoline first of all.(mixture rocket fuel) oxygen, nitrogen, mostly. Exact number, not sure, but once in space, wouldn't take alot, besides the trip back. I know leaving the moon takes 6 thousand horsepower for lift off.(Leaving the Earth takes approx. 15 million horsepower.)

Answer 4

The question is meaningless without a lot more information about what kind of vehicle you are thinking of. If you used any kind of Gasoline - Oxygen rocket it would take ages

Answer 5

it depends on whether your spaceship is a hybrid (economy) model or a SUV (like a navigator or an H1 hummer :-)

are you using petrol based gas or hydrogen, leaded or unleaded

in other words, your question is not a valid question; you have not offered enough information/data, you have not quantified or qualified the parameters necessary to answer your question

actually, you wouldn't use one gallon or any portion thereof of petrol based gasoline in a spaceship...so i guess we could say...

the answer is...0

Answer 6

You could do it in 1 gallon. One you started moving, there is no fricition in space. It would take forever, but your gas needs are nill.

If you wanted life support, that's another question.

Answer 7

spaceships dont use gasoline and you cant drive a car in space so i dont know why everyone is talking about cars on this one

Answer 8

how many miles is the distance. honda burns about 25 miles per galon

Answer 9

Depends on what mileage your vehicle gives.
