Have you SEEN the price of gasoline lately....Just kidding-- Rockets fuels are rated by Specific Impulse, a measure of how fast the explosion travels when it shoots out the back. Gasoline is good as a fuel, but not as good as many others. The space shuttle uses hydrogen and oxygen.

Why can astronauts not use parachutes to help slow down their spacecraft as it approaches the moon how do they slow down their spacecraft?

A parachute would not work in the vacuum of space as there is no air for it to catch and create drag. Instead, spacecraft approaching the moon slow down through a combination of a retrograde rocket burn and gravity assist maneuvers to enter lunar orbit. Mission planners carefully calculate the spacecraft's trajectory and use precise engine firings to control its speed and trajectory.
