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

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

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.

The money is created from thin air by the "Federal Reserve," a private corporation.

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