The fuel used by the Space Shuttle, known as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, cost about $1.5 million per launch. This cost is just for the fuel itself and does not include other expenses associated with the launch.
about 98,348 gallons per minute of all fuels used combined.
To launch a space shuttle (or anything) you have to overcome gravity. The gravitational attraction of the moon is tremendously less than that of the Earth. The moon is much smaller than the Earth.

costs a lot.
The total cost to build the Space Shuttle Challenger was approximately $2 billion. This included the development, construction, and testing of the shuttle before its first flight in 1983.
The cost of the Space Shuttle Challenger program was around $1.2 billion per mission.
The cost to refuel the space shuttle varies, but historically it has been estimated to be around $500 million for a single launch, including the cost of fuel and other expenses such as personnel and maintenance. This high cost is due to the specialized nature of the fuel used by the space shuttle and the complex processes involved in preparing and launching the spacecraft.
depends where you launch from and where you go
The fuel consumption of a rocket launch can vary, but as a rough estimate, a single rocket launch uses several hundred thousand gallons of fuel.
The space shuttle uses about 1.6 million pounds (725,748 kg) of fuel during launch. This includes a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen used by the main engines, and solid rocket boosters filled with solid propellant.
