Moon water?

Water on the moon? Can someone explain?
" Having an abundance of water would make it easier to set up a base camp for astronauts, supplying drinking water and a key ingredient for rocket fuel."

water in rocket fuel? can we dehydrate fuel? That's totally cool if it's true. Can one of you nerds explain?

Ry, liquid rocket fuel is generally made from liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen is used to ignite it. So we could make fuel there through hydrolysis where you break apart a water molecule into H and OH.
