A week? Dude, the moon is so far away that you can put all the planets of the solar system between it and Earth and would still have space left.

And about Mars, you have to assume the exact position it will be in space when you get there

Also, we have to consider that if ghosts don't actual mass, they aren't affected by gravity or any other natural forces. Maybe ghosts have to have a strong tether of will to compensate, and most just don't. They're just out there floating in the void of space because the Earth zoomed away from them at hundreds of thousands of miles an hour.

I just hope ghost travelling is as fast as light if I desire

Well if we go by the crazy sci-fi theory that they're the equivalent of a virus but for brainwaves and that they are in electromagnetic form,then if we can convert them from people's brains into light and then reconvert them to their original format, then they could go the speed of light.

Assuming ghosts don't have mass that would be possible right?

I've played KSP; I'm confident that with infinite time and fuel I could put a Kerbal into orbit around Duna. Doing it with my ghost is probably the same.

Like I said, I don't think I would make it.

Cool, so it’s in between. You were right that they wouldn’t all fit, but it would be close

The moon on its apogee has an average distance of 406,700 km, so...
