“some cyanobacteria are perfectly happy growing on lunar soil, if supplied with water, air and light.”

Light shouldn't be a problem. Free from the sun. Air and water however is an expensive proposition on the moon.

Can ‘air’ be made by breaking down moon rock? Can we free enough Nitrogen and Oxygen from lunar soil so that we don't have to haul it all up from Earth? Any Chemists out there who can tell us?

Blast out some massive caves with a nuclear weapon or two, that could be used for indirect sunlight, and go to the limbs where dark and sunlight meet... I personally believe in a hundred years or so, we could actually developed some type of atmosphere, or go way underground...See what's there.

If the moon is product of ejected material from a massive impact of an object into the earth, then it would be quite interesting to go down several hundred feet or a few miles to see what that's all about.
