If Artemis successfully lands on the Moon, the milestone won't be the landing itself, but what happens afterward: the end of space flights as isolated events. A successful program will demonstrate that we can operate beyond Earth on a recurring basis, not just once a generation.
The true transformation will occur when missions cease to be extraordinary milestones and become infrastructure; with reusable systems and global collaboration between nations and companies. Artemis does not seek to repeat the steps of Apollo, but to surpass them. Once the round trip is sustainable and repeatable, the Moon will cease to be the destination and become the starting point. That is its true promise: to open the door to an era of permanent human presence in the cosmos.
