Claim 2: “Artemis II is essential stepping stones: testing systems, expanding operational boundaries, and preparing us for more ambitious goals such as lunar habitation and, eventually, human missions to Mars.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The Artemis program's Wikipedia entry explicitly states its goal to 'return humans to the lunar surface' and 'prepare for future human missions to Mars' through incremental steps like Artemis II. This directly corroborates the claim's assertion about Artemis II's role as a stepping stone.
