Missions are as varied and different as a person's curiosity so that should be kept in mind. For instance, a mission to photograph a storm in the atmosphere might take ten minutes, but the mission to find fossils on Mars might take months. So, with that understanding, let's say an average mission might take one-quarter of the length of your trip.
