Well, yeah, there's a lot of water there. But, there aren't any rivers, lakes or seas. If it's spread out over the entire moon, it's still probably drier than the Sahara. How to harvest it so it's in usable quantities? Processing "ore" for water will take a lot of equipment. Then, you still have to process it into fuel. I guess you could shoot rockets from Earth to be recovered and refueled, but that would also take equipment and a base, at least. Maybe in 100 years? How about this plan: Send robots to find an ice asteroid. Crash it into the moon. Use that water. Same method for any element we need. (why bother with the moon at all? just orbit and harvest from space station) The moon will have bases.
