That's the rest of the problem. Hydrogen is also missing from the moon. Plenty of oxygen. The moon is 30% oxygen by weight. No hydrogen, no hydrogen compounds.

No it isn't. Near the poles, there's over 10 BILLION metric tons of hydrogen. Even the soils elsewhere contain from 10 to over 100 part-per-million of solar wind implanted hydrogen.

There's plenty of hydrogen on the Moon for whatever purpose we would need it -- from water for life support to liquid fuel for rocket propellant.
