But no...there's just too much earthly problems...
When I say propulsion, I do not think of atomic propulsion, but more like fusion like propulsion. The Moon have lots of the ingrediens/material to make such a fusion possible. So building some kind of refinery on the moon, could be done during the production of the spaceship.
