Give it another few years and they’ll have Super Heavy and Starship man rated. I don’t know if they’ll do it by 2024, but that’s not their goal now. They just need the lunar lander by 2024

The lander needs a booster to send it to the moon or a parking orbit. The Artemis Program and SLS aren't going to be there for it.

The booster in LEO is already planned for. The refuel in LEO, then take off to the moon for HLS.

Artemis will just be the transport up and down to the gateway. I’m not sure what your issue is.
