gas station in space

by the year 2020 the moon could be the first gas station in space. if it is built then spaceships ccould carry heavier loads into space because 90% of of the weight wouldn't be the fuel. the way this would work would be that they could convert the ice on the moon to liquid hydrogen and oxygen fuel that can be used to refuel the space ship and allow them to travel farther than before.how far do you think we could travel into space with the gas station in space.

i think the gas station in space on the moon is a good idea because like he said we could travel further and carry more into outer space.

If they're able to pull this off, it would definatly make it possible to travel on farther than before and maybe even find other life forms. Now if only Obama wouldn't have cancelled NASA's funding...

@danny It is so hard to fund all the things we want, but I agree that space travel should be a high priority.
