The US wants to turn the Moon into a gas station

The US Treasury Secretary said that the US authorities want to make the “refueling” from the Moon for the development of outer space.
“The development of deep space will largely depend on whether we succeed in turning the Moon into a kind of” fuel refueling. “One of the elements of the plan is the use of lunar ice reserves as fuel.The low gravity of the Moon will also allow launching ships from it, for example to Mars , with less fuel and energy costs than from the Earth.We need to use new technological capabilities and creating a “refueling” on the Moon will become one of such opportunities in the future. “
