This is a shakedown to test everything in a dry run doing everything to go to the Moon without actually landing yet as a dry run. If all goes well this time, next year they might return to the Moon and try launching the LEM into orbit. Last test, they had a problem with the heat shield so this mission is also to test that fix.
A lunar base is a prerequisite for attempting any Mars mission, but I rather see any lunar base as being a multi-national venture. Makes more sense than every country building their own Moon base.
As long as we are not on the hook to pay 95% of it. If Elon Musk's Starship works, the costs go down dramatically. The cost of this lunar fly by is over 4.2 billion dollars. All of the astronauts know the realities of the Space Launch System costs.Maybe, just that it'll take big money that Europe doesn't have. The Russians and Chinese have more money and more advanced space programs, so they make better partners.
We got to the Moon nearly 60 years ago, the Russians tried for it as are the Chinese now. It'll take a massive effort of international cooperation to reach Mars, land there and build a martian colony, and international harmony and cooperation is just what this world needs.
