Why doesn't the math add up?

This is very normal. Here is a good site that explains and shows the path that it takes to Mars.
That link literally says it was a 309 million mile journey. But a 309 million mile journey is actually only a 120 million mile journey because.... Science!
"As of July 20, 2021, a total of 574 people from 41 countries have gone into space according to the FAI criterion (587 people have qualified when including the US Department of Defense classification). Of those 574, three people only reached a sub-orbital flight, 567 people reached Earth orbit, 24 traveled beyond low Earth orbit and 12 walked on the Moon.[7]" So on average about 12 people per year, nearly all military. 50 years ago, 12 people went 238,000 miles one way. Humans should be vacationing in 'outer space' by now at only 50 or 60 miles up. Politics? Or something else? Maybe NDGT can explain.
Did you even look at the trajectory?
Never mind.
Who cares about the trajectory? It's either a 309m mile trip or it isn't. If the trajectory you took made the trip shorter than 309m miles, why does it say it had a 309m mile trip?
They are not shooting out of a cannon going 24,600MPH in an instant and smashing into Mars at that speed either.
If you go to a drag strip and the cars top speed is say 208MPH why does it take so long to go only a 1/4 mile?
You do you.
