where do they get money for both moon and war at the same time?

  Loans, mostly.
  Artemis costs about $4 billion per mission, with around $90 billion already spent. The war in Iran is costing the US about $1 billion per day, so (as of today), $35 billion spent.
  The US debt is $39,000 billion ($39 trillion). So, combined, the entire Artemis program and war in Iran represent .32% of the US debt.

  Issuing US treasury debt to those still willing to buy it.

Defence from what/whom? If US doesn't start a war at the opposite end of the world " in defence" there was no need.
