How they go about lifting it into orbit?

The water would be handled by other flights. The honeycombs for electroosmosis membranes are very light. I gamed it and figured the existing heavy weight lift was sufficient.

I was convinced that we could have kept going with the Saturn platform at the time. If we had the will. After Apollo, things went severely wrong culturally, socially and technologically.

Maybe one or two flights with the super heavy lift vehicle (using 9 Raptor engines) in water-only cargo containers using anti-slosh baffles.

Fuel cell technology has come a long way since the Apollo days.
