If you turn into a ghoul, you don't need oxygen or water to survive anyway.
Kinda gives you super powers.

Orbital mechanics has nothing to do with useful chemical processes that result in water production.

All the hydrogen and oxygen in those fuel cells was carried into space on top of a Saturn V. And it all burned up when the Service Module reentered. It is no longer available in space. And in any case, Apollo did not go to interplanetary space.
Read up about orbital mechanics.

why would you only need to dig for a very short time? I'm not following your train of thought

'supplies' made me think you were referring to Life Support.
Apologies.
Seeing 'getting to orbit is halfway to anywhere' in Solar System terms what you suggest is absolutely the goal. It's called 'in-situ resource utilization', or ISRU. Water as a Reaction Mass (either as itself in NTRS or as a source of hydrogen) is the core material ISRU will seek.

He lives for the day there's an emergency so he can shout "Get NORAD on the horn!"

In the summer of 1969 he was further removed from other humans than any other person ever.

If you're not under dark skies you'll probably struggle, even with binoculars. I live in a city and could make it out with my 120mm scope but definitely couldn't see it with binoculars.

Napkins are where real math gets done, for everything else there's CAD.

You can check where in the sky it is right now. Just enter where on planet earth you are observing from.

Size and distance are just the same thing. Stop being overcorrect.

Speed up and slow down time still mean it would take an absurd amount of time even relative to you.

Maybe an exotic biochemistry would function in such an environment.

Relativity, the faster you move the slower you experience time. It means you could never actually get to the speed of light, but the math says going at the speed of light you wouldn't experience time at all.
