You don’t understand the very rational reasons Mars is so much more attractive and easier to colonize than the moon.
• Mars requires less fuel to reach and land on, and you can land far larger cargo and crew on Mars.
• Its far easier to make fuel for return trips on Mars. This is an enormous force multiplier, enabling landing even larger cargo and crews.
• The moon is a barren desert with far less scientific value and far fewer usable resources.
• the moon is far more hostile to human life. It’s temperature extremes are about four times as great, and last two weeks vs a single day. Mars is awash in water at every location, the moon is virtually devoid of water. Having an atmosphere,,even a thin one makes Mars much more habitable.
Nope, because your chart doesn’t include the fact we will aerobrake on a Mars, requiring only a few hundred meters/sec for final landing burn, instead of the 2,500 meters/sec Luna requires.
Also you can easily make return fuel on Mars, which massively changes your payload to fuel ratio for the trip there.
