How long does it take to fly to Saturn? How long it takes to travel anywhere depends on how far you want to go and how fast you move. For example, if you want to travel to the store located 10 km from your house, and you drive at 50 km/hr, it would take you 10/50 hours to get there (in other words, 1/5 of an hour or 12 minutes).
What was Christopher Columbus looking for in Asia? Columbus desired a faster, cheaper route to Asia. To get spices and silk from Asia, many countries and middlemen had to be paid, and the price was constantly jacked upwards fo â¦ r profit.
Like many things the secret was lost in time. Columbus was not the first he was simply one of the first willing to risk his life and the life of his crew to prove it. His motivation was money, not proving the world was round. He was trying to reach the far east (Indonesia and China) by sailing west not east around Africa. In fact when he found the new world he at first thought he found the far east and later found out that he discovered new lands.
