Complete nonsense. The moon has water which can obviously be broken down into oxygen and rocket fuel. The idea that we know the extent of the moon's resources is naive.


I thought it was only in permanently shadowed craters? If it's accessible and is concentrated enough, then you're right.


There is reason to believe the moon is wetter than we thought.

You're correct in that large, (comparatively) easily mined water ice deposits are located in permanent shadow at the poles, but there is likely water available in most locations, if you dig down below the surface.
