The moon does have water. It does have carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

See this link on the massive ice deposits:

Besdies having volatiles, the poles have plateaus that enjoy near constant illumination. The temperature swings at these polar plateaus are very mild: plus or minus ten degrees centigrade.

>This redditor engineering student has just discovered r/tothemoon. It's immediately inspiring and fascinating, and I will be doing everything I can to learn everything I can about this project and then contribute to the effort. Mechanical/Aerospace, by the way.

>Good post. There are all kinds of private ventures underway that still aren't on the public's radar. Nuclear rockets, space elevators etc, would be nice, but no breakthrough technologies are needed to start this off now. Just use "off the shelf" and "off the pad", adapting where necessary, and do it!

>Would you consider a nuclear thermal rocket a "theoretical project" (from your FAQ)? It would solve a lot of the lift problem.

>How many minerals does the moon contain and in what amount? If the moon and earth were created from similar material, would it be safe to assume that the moon has the same mineral only in 1/6 the quantity?If so, then there is 1/6th of the world's economy simply lying on the moon waiting to be taken. How long do you think the 1967 space treaty will last when politicians all around the world start realizing how much gold/silver/platinum/uranium there is on the moon?
