Artemis is aimed at the Moon, not Mars. But --Seward's Folly was a thing too. Started out for bragging, but then we found gold, and later, oil.

Artemis, the last I heard, is step one of a larger plan to put humans on Mars. There are a lot of resources on the moon that can be used for a mars launch, and the gravity well is much shallower. Perhaps they've scaled it back? I don't know. Haven't been following for some time, since they blew their timeline all to hell and back.
