There is nothing wrong with dreams, but, everyone wants a "Shake 'n' Bake" atmosphere for any other planet that seems within reach of liquid hydrogen (click here). What happens when space explorers run out of liquid hydrogen? Every planet and planetoid has a gravity.

"Could We Create A Livable Atmosphere on the Moon?" (click here)
For many years, scientists thought the moon had no atmosphere at all. Turns out that's not quite the case. The moon has a very thin atmosphere, called an exosphere, that's about 100 trillion times less dense than our own life-giving blanket of gases.
There are two main components to maintaining a decent atmosphere. You need enough gravity to keep everything in place. But you also need a kind of planetary force field to keep the solar wind at bay. Happily, Earth has both. Sadly, the moon has neither....
