How Did the Moon Affect the First Human Steps on Mars?

The Moon helped humans get to Mars by acting like a helper in the sky. Imagine you’re playing with a ball on Earth, and your friend throws another ball from space, that second ball helps yours go farther. The Moon did something similar for spaceships traveling to Mars. It gave them an extra push, making their trip faster and easier.
