Even Saturn V didn't had any true competitor

There is now apparently!!

 

[F-22Raptor]

It is!
Oh back to the glory days of Space race!!

Unfortunately theres no rocket to match on the other side of the planet to compete with

They’ll compete with SpaceX. I expect Starship Super Heavy to launch in the next several months.

NASA: Artemis I

Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a sustained human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

Instead of astronauts, NASA sent some substitutes, including a human-sized model, called a “manikin” (shown above inside Orion). The manikin has sensors to test how the flight might affect humans. NASA wants to make sure radiation won’t be a problem for humans on a similar flight

Kudos to NASA

You do know RS-25 engine is a old generation engine compare to raptor, RD-180 and YF-130 which burns kerosene, oxygen.

No new space project is based on this old dinosaur engine except NASA which based it's legacy on the old space shuttle.

Artemis I – Flight Day Two: Orion Continues Toward Moon, Callisto Activated – Artemis

blogs.nasa.gov

On the second day of the 25.5-day Artemis I mission, Orion used its optical navigation camera to snap black and white photos of planet Earth. Orion uses the optical navigation camera to capture imagery of the Earth and the Moon at different phases and distances, providing an enhanced body of data to certify its effectiveness as a method for determining its position in space for future missions under differing lighting conditions.
