The primary reason Artemis 2 takes longer to reach the Moon compared to Apollo 11 is its specialized mission profile, which prioritizes safety testing over speed. While Apollo 11 reached the Moon in roughly 76 hours (3.2 days), Artemis 2 is designed as a 10-day mission with a four-day outbound journey.
TL;DR They aren't in a space race with Russia anymore.
