Because you take off and end up in movie theatre and they don't tell you until you smell the popcorn.

Based on current technology you'd have time issues as well as fuel for the return trip issues I suspect.

For one thing, Mars has higher gravity than the Moon, so just getting away from Mars takes much more energy than leaving the Moon.

Getting from Mars to Earth takes almost as much energy as getting from Earth to Mars, except all of the fuel and supplies are on Earth already, but need to be carried to Mars.

We went to Mars in the 60s. There are many settlements of humans as well a two or three other species, living on Mars at this time. They have a jump gate, as I understand it, and there are technologies to travel space that we know nothing about.
This is not difficult for the governments of this Earth. It has been happening for decades.

If you launched when it is closest you could land and try and make it back in 2 months
