        Moon's crust has huge amounts of oxygen . So if we heat it by
lasers or solar concentrators we can release this oxygen by merely
heating it to 1000 C or so . Will the oxygen stay and form an
atmosphere ?

University of Hawai'i), Brad Jolliff, and Randy Korotev (both at
Washington University in St. Louis) have resulted in updated global
maps for thorium (Th), potassium (K), and iron oxide (FeO) that are
more consistent with the compositions of lunar samples and lunar
meteorites, and allow a better understanding of the Moon's formation
and evolution.

        Titan is not that much bigger than our moon 5k km vs 3.3k km
and yet has a dense atmosphere . So our moon too should be able to
hold on to an atmosphere . What we need to do is to bring icy comets
from the oort cloud and Saturn's rings and let them slow down so they
settle gently on the surface .The water will soon evaporate and form
oceans and then we can colonize it .
