Furthermore – How does the near term return to the Moon tie into NASA’s ultimate goal of sending astronauts on a journey to Mars in the 2030s?

They launched on NASA’s mammoth 363 foot tall (110 meter) Apollo Saturn V rocket on July 16, 1969 on an eight day trip to the Moon and back.
That’s just 8 years after the famous speech by President Kennedy announcing the goal to “land
a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth before this decade is out.”
That first manned lunar landing occurred on July 20, 1969 and was watched by billions across the globe in the world largest TV event uniting humanity like nothing before.
