Artemis 2 is not an exhilarating spaceflight mission. It is planned to be a much less ambitious mission than Artemis 1 was years earlier, and less ambitious even than Apollo 8 over half a century before. Unlike those, Artemis 2 will not enter lunar orbit, Artemis 1 already demonstrated the capability of the spacecraft to perform the Artemis 2 mission autonomously; the astronauts are just along for the ride. And, unlike Apollo 8, the Artemis missions aren't really, if we're being honest, pathfinders for a lunar landing. At the time of Apollo 8, development of the Apollo Lunar Module was well under way, just a few months from being ready to go. Artemis has no integral lander; it will depend on SpaceX developing its Starship HLS, which is just vaporware now. It's blown up twice, never orbited Earth, and yet the plan is for a "high teen" number of Starship flights to fuel the depot version of Starship in orbit, which will then fuel the lander, which must then fly to lunar orbit to meet Artemis 3. Not going to happen this decade, if ever.
