Apollo surviving long enough to see a manned mission to Mars was impossible, wasnt it?

Why is For All Mankind obsessed with using spaceplanes to go to the moon? Mars is a bit more understandable but still. If the writers actually cared about realism they’d use Sea Dragon or reusable spaceplanes to help build and refuel lunar transfer vehicles or some shit.
Also why does the show fall for the “dude just launch from the moon!!!!” meme? Building in lunar orbit or the Earth-Moon L2 is a great idea. But going from the surface loses you 1.7 km/s if you want to go to Mars.
The show also treats nuclear thermal engines like some magic device which can not only SSTO a space shuttle, but also bring it to the moon and back.
