  • Water can be harvested from asteroids, but you need a dome. Without a dome to keep it in the other items are useless, as water will become gasses, and all the gasses including oxygen will float away, the moon doesn’t have enough gravity. You also need a lot of carbon and nitrogen. Without the Carbom the plants won’t grow. Without the nitrogen, to dilute the the carbon and oxygen you’re gonna have a rather dangerous atmosphere. You’ll also need soil nutrients, and I wouldn’t recommend trees, they’re very inefficient for the task. Algae is probably best to start, then crops of course. All that said, this project will be insanely expensive. It would be easier to skip the steps and fix earths climate than it would be to create a sizable colony on the moon
