Moon by 2030 and Mars by 2040 seems like a winning bet lately



The Delta-V is comparable since you can aerobrake on mars. It's only the difference between the time.

Earth to moon without Aerobraking is a delta v of around 13k/s, mars is 13.3


An additional advantage is that it’s theoretically possible to make fuel for Starship on Mars. The Luna lander will need to bring enough fuel for the return trip.
