Air can be produced, e.g. by plants, like on the ISS.

There is strong evidence to suggest that there is water on the Moon all over 
the place, in minerals and as pellets and sheets of water ice (likely 
brought in by meteoroid and asteroid impacts).

Space suits already have limited cosmic ray protection.  Space suits that 
are now being developed for Mars will work fine on the Moon, too, with minor 
modifications.

Laundry is not a problem once you have air and water, however it will be 
more efficient to wear hydrophobic clothes that makes laundry unnecessary; 
there are already examples of that in serial production, like t-shirts that 
cannot get dirty.

That was not true then (where do you think do the Moon rocks on Earth come 
from?) and is certainly not true now.

Besides, if you build a moon-dome to live in, you can extend that dome over 
time.

No, there are natural resources there that can be used.  For example, if the 
moonship had a fusion reactor, you could fuel it with the helium-3 that you 
mine there.  The reactor could power machines like 3D printers.  Printed 
parts can be used to build small machines.  Small machines can be used to 
build bigger machines.  This is already being tested, on Earth, right now.
 
Learn *before* you post.  And stop the *mindless* crossposting.  And get a 
real name.
