No! Not at all! The Moon is harder to land on then Mars! Aerodynamic drag is amazing. It means fins and parachutes work. It means you can slow yourself down without propellant and with passive systems. Mars actually kind of sucks too because it has just enough atmosphere to interfere with rocket engine ignition but not enough to be able to land on chutes alone. But any amount of parachute and aerobraking is better then none. But the Moon is terrible: no atmosphere, so you're under engine power the whole way down. The propellant and mass demands are thus much higher.
