You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assuming you would make the trip to arrive when Venus was closest to the earth: 23.7 million miles
Assuming the moon distance is .252 million miles from the earth
:
27.7%2F.253 = t%2F3
Cross multiply
.253t = 27.7 * 3
.253t = 83.1
t = 83.1%2F.253
t ~ 329 days to get to Venus (no traffic)
