the most elaborate historic reenactment in history.
we learn nothing from these experiments. they are a show because presidents are tired of being trolled about the moon.

we are pretty aware of regolith constitution.
having a moon base (which isnt in artemis 3) is not research
I personally think that it is a must to go to Moon first before any attempts at Mars, and dead end program can be a reasonable price to pay for the necessary iterative research. But SLS specifically is super bad and super expensive at that task. If the Starship program would fail for any reason but NASA would continue, I think after SLS will finally die, another, totally different system would be required to go to Moon again, to finally iterate on it to go to Mars next.
Basically humans are wasting time with SLS, and would need to repeat a lot of efforts again, to continue human space exploration.
Not accurate. It will be new history because we will have the first woman and person of color on the moon. A giant leap for diversity.
