Obviously "it depends". For humans at present it would take weeks. We have to build the spacecraft first though.

It took "Curiosity" about 250 Earth days to get to Mars. That's about 250 x 24 hours. So that's ROUGHLY 6000 hours.

Typical expected manned earth to mars travel times are about a year and a half (each way), but this depends on the chosen trajectory and how powerful/expensive a rocket you can get. But it cannot be done in weeks, even if you took a straight-line trajectory at the exact moment (this moment occurs only once every two years) the planets made their closest approach because we don't have technology that can build that powerful a rocket.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

The time it takes to travel to Mars varies depending on the speed of the spacecraft and its trajectory. On average, it takes around 6-9 months to travel from Earth to Mars using current spacecraft technology. This equates to roughly 4,000 to 6,000 hours of travel time.

6480hours do the math

It takes 9 months to get to mars each month has 30 days=

Or 270daysx24hours=6480 hours
