Consider the tonnage of equipment you need to get to the moon to mine for fuel. Especially if you decide to have humans there. Then convert that tonnage to fuel that's stockpiled in LEO. You'd need an incredible demand for fuel for a human colony to pay for itself. I wonder if it would be feasible to store a large amount of water at the ISS. Then use solar energy to transform some of the water to H and O as needed. Shield it from the sun to store it in liquid form. The ISS could use the water as radiation shielding as a side benefit. -- Dan Espen
