Depends on how fast it is going.

The time to reach the moon depends on the speed of the rocket

Apollo 11 lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 9:32 a.m. on July 16, 1969. It went into lunar orbit at 1:28 p.m on July 19. Armstrong and Aldrin landed the lunar module on the surface of the moon at 4:18 p.m. on July 20. Armstrong put his foot on the lunar surface at 10:56 p.m.
So it took about 4 days. Today's rockets are probably faster, but we don't go to the moon much anymore.
