    Well there is the Artemis program although it seems massively overly complicated.

    SLS is basically just the Apollo rocket again, except without a lander. Then they’re going to dock with a space station that they haven’t built, and transfer via the space station onto a lander produce by SpaceX (although possibly there will be others), then land on the moon in the lander;and construct a permanent habitat on the moon. Presumably the space station will do something other than serve as a transfer system but I don’t really know what.

    With the trump administration though it’s anyone’s guess what happens I’m assuming that they’ll probably cut funding so it won’t happen anyway.
