Why Is it So Difficult To Get To Mars?

In addition to Earth, Mars is the planet with the best conditions to host humans. Space agencies such as SpaceX or NASA are planning to take the next generation of astronauts to the red planet, but it has not yet been achieved, Why is it so difficult to get to Mars?
let's start!
During the space race in the 60s, NASA successfully took six missions to the moon that placed 12 astronauts on the surface of our natural satellite. Having gone to the moon several times nearly five decades ago and is used to seeing astronauts travel to space almost routinely, having extended stays on the International Space Station, it's tempting to think that sending humans to Mars could be perfectly plausible today.
However, to the current date, in 2022, seeing the first humans on the red planet still seems to be distant. Science and technology tell us that sending human beings to Mars constitutes a challenge of enormous difficulty and complexity that is far from everything that has been done so far in the history of human exploration of space.
But the reason almost all others are derived from is one: distance.
