...you cant mistreat the moon, it's a barren wasteland of well, bareness. It doesn't have a ecosystem or life. Don't get your panties in a twist.
Also i don't think you've done any real research, you think said scientists haven't took any of these things into consideration? It's not like they are saying we will have a colony up there any time soon. It isn't a pipe dream and it is in fact very feasible, hydroponic farming, dehydrated foods, farming would generate their own oxygen. Also there are is approximately one billion gallons of frozen water in one single moon crater. Of course you would need purifying systems for removing toxins like mercury, as well as systems for reclaiming gray water. When melted and broken down into its components, water ice could also be used as fuel for rockets. there is enough water there to last small colonies for years and years....and years, by which point we would have solved any water worries. The frozen water is short term, to help get the whole thing running rather than a permanent thing.
Besides a Moon Outpost could prove key in future space exploration and scientific discoveries about our known universe, just because you cant comprehend how something can be achieved because you didn't bother to do any research into it, doesn't make it a pipe dream.
Are these people serious? These scientists on this show I'm watching think we will be living on the moon one day. Is this stuff for real?

We have done nothing but contribute to the destruction of the Earth, so what makes them think that we will be treating the Moon any differently? Also, the conditions on the Moon are far from friendly, so there is almost no room for error in any sort of habitat we would dwell in while there, and as we know, humans have a hard time making things that are extremely dependable at all times. They say that there is ice on the Moon which will be the source of the water, OK, we have done nothing but pollute the water we have here, so how do they plan on using ice water for any extended period of time before it becomes useless??? I love pipe dream fantasies as much as the next guy, but seriously this seems impossible to be feasible.

In short, it's simply impossible.
A moon colony would become self sufficient. But we are talking about years in the future here, we're not colonizing the moon any time soon.
Terraforming is going to take some time thats why you've got to hit all of them at the same time and move when the first one is ready
