Even the next one isn't landing on the moon. It is still a test flight. Good that they are testing things obviously, but it is hard to get excited about testing...

the apollo program had 5 crewed flights, two of which went to the moon before actually landing on the moon.
after 50 years of not going there, it is exciting that something is happening. i don't actually care about landing on the moon. i care about what is being tested and learned from these flights, whether they do land on the moon or not.
the moonlanding better be a test for base building for example and not just collecting samples. we can do that with robots already.
