The moon is comparatively easier than any other option to get to. To get the moon we only need to cross 238,900 miles, Mars for comparison is at closest 33,900,000 miles away or up to 138,120,000 miles away.
The moon takes a few days to get to at any time, it takes a several months to get to Mars during a window every couple years.
