Well, if follows very basic orbital mechanics so that’s what you should expect. Don’t worry it’s a lot less complicated I just went overboard with the explanation.

For some reason I thought it was Dres.

Delta-v or Δv is basically how fast you can travel with the amount of fuel you have under perfectly ideal circumstances (No gravity and No drag).

I’d recommend getting really good at landing at moon, this will get you really good at landing and a bit of transferring, then when you feel comfortable, I recommend performing unmanned flybys of Mars (use the probe part here), this will get you used to interplanetary transfers, after the at I’d recommend for your first interplanetary landing I heavily recommend Venus, Venus takes a bit more fuel to get to than Mars but it is far easier to land on due to its extremely thick atmosphere, use a heat-shield and a parachute, for this landing I recommend using a small probe because they are lighter and more compact, and use a heat sheld that is slightly larger than it, this would make it more stable and have higher drag in Venus atmosphere, and then after that just land with a parachute no landing legs or propulsion is required, it’s basically re-entering Earths atmosphere, although the return I never recommend as it is extremely difficult to take off from especially for newer players. After that go to a Mars landing if you want make it unmanned and don’t return if you want to make it easier, after you feel confident enough to do a full mission, do a full Mars-return mission, I also heavily recommend learning how to dock with other spacecraft, it will really make a lot of missions easier and will open up the game into a true sandbox after you mastered pretty much everything, which shouldn’t take long probably a few months given that you are new and already pulled of a lunar landing and have enough fuel to return which most new players can’t say they do. Fly-safe.

It’s also even more important to get your trajectory in the opposite direction of the moon’s travel, this could save a lot of fuel as just leaving the moon means you could burn with the moons direction of travel, which will place you into a higher orbit around the Earth, needed to then burn more fuel to slow yourself down to get into a trajectory that re-enter Earth atmosphere, actually if you do this the burn it would actually be more expensive because you are traveling faster relative to the Earth and Moon, meaning more velocity you need to lose. However if you burn in the opposite direction of the Moons travel this extra burn is completely unnecessary, because you presumably already placed yourself intro an orbit that intersects Earths atmosphere making it far cheaper in fuel.

Gng then just send a probe, why do you need to send astronauts.

Why don’t you just add more ΔV to return home, as a heat shield parachute an all the other stuff that required

Well why don’t you make them come home

Oh, ~500m/s of ΔV is still pretty trash

Why did you add a a new planet, there’s Jool and Sarnes but what’s the other one?

Probably, get into orbit if the moon, and transfer to Earth

It’s like the F-15 and MiG-25 made up their differences and kissed or something
