Its problem is that its useless for its program for anything other then short term

Too expensive with too low launch cadance to do anything alone

Non of the first 3 launches will or have used the same heatshield due to a dangerus flaw only found in artemis 1, despite a launch haveing already happened specifucly to test the heatshield (and ofcource the new heatshield will not have an unmanned test, at least its "just" a reentry from lower earth orbit so if it has anotehr problem its less likely to fail completely and have crew loss).Theres a reason why non of the final HLS options used sls ,you simply arent getting sustained long term presence on the moon while being unable to launch more then once yearly and takeng around 1/10 of the entire nasa buget per launch.

Considering im seeing atlas missile in the background of the first one , may as well "just" take the old saturn 5s from the museums
