Landing on the moon again. It's been over fifty years since we've been back.

    Well there is the Artemis program although it seems massively overly complicated.

    SLS is basically just the Apollo rocket again, except without a lander. Then they're going to dock with a space station that they haven't built, and transfer via the space station onto a lander produce by SpaceX (although possibly there will be others), then land on the moon in the lander;and construct a permanent habitat on the moon. Presumably the space station will do something other than serve as a transfer system but I don't really know what.

    With the trump administration though it's anyone's guess what happens I'm assuming that they'll probably cut funding so it won't happen anyway.
