This reminds me of some NASA Mars lander concepts. Maybe it’s coz I see the Worm logo on the side of a lander.
This was NASAs human lander for the 1990s proposed First Lunar Outpost missions to the Moon that never made it to the Moon. Unlike Apollo missions which used Lunar orbit rendezvous it was to use direct descent and ascent with the astronauts riding in an Apollo style capsule to and from the Moon’s surface. The unmanned version carried the outpost that could support a crew of four for up to 45 days.

Basically, there's an alternate universe in which Kathy's selection was blocked, and Blue Origin ended up being the primary contractor, with maybe SpaceX being a secondary contractor for later heavy cargo missions.
It's genuinely possible that Starship HLS might not be ready before Blue Moon MK 2 is.
