Pretty sure it takes a whole lot longer than a year to build a rocket.

This is a Biden rocket if anything.

This moon program is supposed to be a step of the future manned Mars program and started during Obama. So I guess this is an Obama rocket.

Then IIRC Trump wanted to skip to Mars, despite reducing NASA funding and causing leadership issues in the agency during his first term.

First of all, Trump's been talking about a return to the moon since his first term almost a decade ago.

Second, the rocket is one thing, the stated goals of the agency are another. They're declaring the plan is a permanent human presence on the moon.
