I think you are wrong. Find an asteroid a cpl of million tons made mostly of water ice. Land a small reactor on it. Reactor heat to melt some water and turn to steam as propulsion into an orbit around the moon and we are off to colonizing space. Water is very good radiation shielding and would make a very good building material, believe it or not.

Who is going to operate and maintain the reactor? What happens if the reactor has an accident?
Nice idea but the devil is in the details.
