Was there any writeup on the actual goals and accomplishments of this mission. I'm sure there is some very valuable scientif8c data and observations done, but what exactly are those (other than 'wow' media)?

Getting the public excited also has its place. Also sending humans so far from earth has enough challenges to make it worthwile. Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_II) has the experiments listed.

I see that they travelled 1.6% more distance compared to a tech that was used 56 years ago. If NASA is really excited about this, I think they are having a low news day. I'm sure they must be other goals.
