If you’re willing to spend a few lives, you can do that much cheaper than Artemis which aims to be perfectly safe but doesn’t actually succeed.

> aims to be perfectly safe
obviously that isn't true -- it aims to be relatively safe
...but in any case - it aims to bring humanity to the moon. That's the aim. Keep your eye on the prize.
from one of the artemis astronauts on livestream:
"It is very risky, and we are intimately [aware] of that risk"
ie It's not perfectly safe, and the astronauts are well aware of this fact.
astronaut #2
"do what scares you...that's why I'm [on artemis]"
clearly very risk-aware.
