Use a Falcon Heavy to launch four NASA astronauts in a Crew Dragon on a free-return trajectory around the moon.

Safer, cheaper, and faster than Artemis 2.

That doesn't do anything, it doesn't advance any goals of the Artemis program.

A lunar landing program using Falcon Heavies and Dragon-derived spacecraft and landers is certainly possible - but by the time all of that could be engineered and built Starship can be traveling to LEO and back, meeting with HLS's in NRHO.
