Answer:. x 10^5 miles from the earth. How long does it take light to from a source on earth to reach a reflector on the moon and then return to earth? The speed of light is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s ... sec. to give us our final answer of 1.28 seconds (the time required for light to travel 2.4 x 105 miles). and the fastest spaceship goes 153,454 miles per hour
