Except that the moon is also filled with helium 3, which can
be fused much more easily than hydrogen. Putting reactors up there
would allow the astronauts an almost unlimited supply of energy.

Yeah, once we actually you know, build WORKING ones. In the meantime there
are far easier and cheaper ways to power a lunar base.

Certainly more than enough to move the material to get water, if they
had to.
I don't think they'd have to though. I think there are plenty
of places on the moon where there are outcroppings of ice that would
provide an easy source of water.

Based on what? Wishful thinking?
