Does anyone else sense the wrongness here? What exact reason is given for risking the lives of three men and a woman in something as pointless as a manned loop around the moon? The only new thing in all of this is that a woman is going to the near vicinity of the moon for the first time and that seems to be the sum total of the missions scientific purpose/achievement and let's be honest, sending pioneering women along for the ride has not proven all that wildly successful the past.
I can see the point if it was landing on the moon. That way leads to science but repeating a simple trick we've done successfully 9 times seems utterly unnecessary. We are risking lives of people who are in all senses of the word, passengers and there doesn't seem to be any reason for it. I see the risk but not the reward.
When I think of going backwards 40 years in science and engineering why does NASA spring to mind?

It's an dry run....to see just how badly DEI has screwed up NASA. If I was one of the astronauts I'd double check to make sure my life insurance covered this trip. Because odds are good things won't go well.
When was the last manned moon launch? We got stupid and know we get to recreate the wheel
