I guess my big thing about Artemis is that past history has shown that many of these big ticket space programs are a front for strategic military programs. I don't know why that would really change.

And Space Force has been talking a whole bunch about needing nuclear reactors in space and this sort of heavy lift vehicle would be perfect for that, as well as, any other super heavy military equipment they think they need up there.

I think at best we'll probably get a stunt landing out of the thing. I seriously doubt that we'll get any sort of long term human presence there beyond the stunt landings. Probably what we can count on getting out of all this is a more militarized space. Which counterintuitively makes it more dangerous for humans to go there.
