It takes considerably more delta v to get to mars than the moon: https://external-preview.redd.it/U5iH7huE5qKth7ZFvipXt8vzaFOO99qHFh9o9_SkLLk.png?auto=webp&s=d1

  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.
