The advanced technologies you're describing are part of Artemis. The other part is a huge pork barrel jobs project for the SLS workforce across the country, in as many states as possible.

Nobody in congress will vote to kill jobs in their district. The military industrial complex figured that out a while ago, which is why at least one screw for some weapon or aircraft is produced in every state.

If NASA is going to use the same playbook to be benefit space exploration, I’m not remotely upset.

Is it benefiting space exploration though? Or is it wasting huge sums of money that could be going towards real science.
