...the water from the ice present...

Is there ice on the Moon?

The Moon, in fact, is not made of ice; there is actually no ice nor water on the Moon at all. The Moon is comprised, mostly, of rock. The reason why there is no ice on the moon at all is due to the fact that liquid water cannot persist at the moon’s surface, and water vapor is decomposed by sunlight, with hydrogen quickly lost to outer space.

I used to service Zoneline AC/heat units in nursing homes, so yeah, I’m familiar with the smell......

Hold up a sec. I’m supposed to wait until I get to the moon to do that?

Given how much the temperature swings on the moon (from 260F to -280F), you’ll have a short window of time to whip out the equipment. Take too long and it could be half roasted or frost bitten.

Like most great plans, you need to take the first step. In this case, build some very large breweries.

Stock up on FloMax.

I do. 😎

Perhaps you have found the major flaw in the plan.

I thought it was the human production factor, myself.

HOUSE OF THE LUNAR P
There is a house on Tranquility sea,
They call the house of “P”
The residents all contributed some yellow goo
And built it with a view...

Sung to “House of the Rising Sun”

I’ll hum a few bars to myself.

Pissing their time away. No mention where all this liquid for pee is coming from.

I remember this show. “UFO”. The one sitting on the right was soooo cute, even with purple hair. Those are wigs.

- Got any idea how bad heated urine smells? -

Yes. When I was 6 or 7 my cousin stayed overnight with me. His pajamas were, shall we say, a bit damp in the morning, so he draped them over the radiator in my room. My Mom complained about that smell for quite some time.

You could build a log cabin out of.. nevermind.
