Doesn't the moon lack sufficient gravity to hold an atmosphere of sufficient density for humans to breath? I could see this might be useful for making enough to fill some small domes or something, but it'll never produce a breathable atmosphere.

I worked for Praxair, which is a gass company. The fractionally distill the Earth's Atmosphere to produce PURE Oxygen, Nitrogen, CO2 and the noble gases. Given them the contract and they'll get the job done economically.

Of course, the Lunar Surface will present challenges but the Texas towers were gathering oil form 5000 feet in the '50s and now the sew spar technology is drilling for oil in mile deep water!!!

Good Old American Ingenuity!

The moon is 1/3 oxygen. This has been known for a while. What it is short of is hydrogen and carbon. Don't believe there will be domes on the moon, not widespread. There will be hollowed-out caverns. They will dig, and they will have to import some comets.

I thought the Moon lacks sufficient gravity to avoid health problems for human beings? Automation will have to be
included in the equation.
