This is VERY early reporting of a finding that needs more work in an animal model before anyone can try it with human patients. Searching on the investigator's name turned up a more informative article

that indicates some of the development steps that are still necessary.

I think since the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, the vacuum will quickly tear you apart from liquid evaporation anyway.

If you can't breath wouldn't you still feel the suffocating sensation?
