The Moon programme's next crew visit was about the machinery

The entire Artemis III crew and its backups made their first joint visit to Kennedy Space Center, where astronauts inspected progress on solid rocket booster integration inside the Vehicle Assembly Building.

One detail in NASA's account is easy to miss: Artemis III's stated job is to demonstrate systems in low Earth orbit for later lunar landings, beginning with Artemis IV. This was a look at the hardware behind that intermediate step—not a report of a landing.
