Can we see the surface of the moon using telescope?

Yes, you can see the surface of the Moon with a telescope or even with the naked eye.
No. There is no one on the Moon.

If is difficult to get a feel for how far away the Moon is or how large it is. In the night sky, it doesn't seem large or far. Even with a very large telescope you can't see something as small as a person on the Moon from Earth.

Is it illegal to go to the moon without informing to NASA?

You don't need NASA's permission. You do need FAA permission to launch a rocket through US airspace just so they can coordinate airplanes out of the way.

No one is sending people out to the Moon secretly. Any country launching people into orbit or beyond publicizes it in the event they need rescue or recovery assistance, if they value their people!

How long does light from the moon take to reach the Earth?

The Moon is approx. 240,000 miles from Earth... Light travels at 186,000 miles per second... (the Sun is approx. 93,000,000 miles from the Earth)

How long did it take Neil Armstrong to get to the moon?

38 years 11 months and 15 days

(Born 5th August 1930, landed 20th July 1969, 16 days short of his 39th birthday)
 
 

How long does it take to get to the moon?

It depends on how fast they are travelling. I've broken out some target velocities for the kids:

If they walk: 4,976 days
If they run: 663 days
If they drive: 153 days
If they hitch a ride on the space shuttle: 13.5 hours
If they morph into a photon: 1.2 seconds

Good luck! And make sure they pack a sweater!

How much time does it take to get to the moon

1. It depends on how fast you're traveling. Apollo astronauts were in lunar orbit in 3 days, and landed on the 4th.

2. Moon landing missions also put up laser reflectors on the moon, collected lunar material, and also performed many physics experiments.

3. The moon is around 2159 mi (3475 km) in diameter and its circumference is 6790 mi.
