SLS wouldn't put people back on the moon. The actual moon lander is Starship.
If people land on the moon. Starship will be the impressive inspirational thing, not SLS.
And Starship is what you need to have a permanent moon base. Its a simple fact that there is not enough budget for a moon base, as long as NASA is forced into SLS. Do the math and you will see.
There is a reason literally everything other then Orion is already taken away from SLS. Both science missions and all other moon missions and landers are no longer going to use SLS.
SLS is literally just there to put Orion into moon orbit. That's it. And that could be achieved other ways as well.
SLS is just a crouch that NASA is forced to use. And on the pictures on television, when Astronauts get out on to the moon, it will be a large SpaceX rocket.
