If we create a space elevator in time and we're still haunted by global warming. We can siphon excess water out of the earth into a giant ice ball in space. Then we can crash that ice ball into the moon and extract water from it and other supplies that could be used to colonize a moon base. Maybe even oxygen?
Sounds like a good idea. One huge problem, though: the moon's gravity is too low to support an atmosphere. Most of what you put on it would be pulled away back to Earth. At the moment, the moon's atmosphere is so little that it's practically considered a vacuum.
