In the tintin adventure explorers on the moon the rocket


In the Tintin adventure Explorer's on the Moon, the rocket leaves earth and accelerates toward the moon. Upon reaching some point between the two planetary bodies, it executes a turning maneuver, at which point rocket is "facing backwards". From this point on, it is decelerating, with the same magnitude as the earlier acceleration phase. The rocket eventually lands on the moon. It isn't clear what the acceleration the rocket had was, so let's assume it would be something like Apollo 11's maximum acceleration, around 4g. The earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. For this and the following question, ignore the effect of gravity. We will worry about that later.What is the maximum speed reached by the rocket? How long does the moon journey take?
