Freeman Dyson proposed this method in a race w/ the liquid fuels group @ NASA

How about converting ice (frozen H2O) into H2 fuel
(which got the spaceship there in the first place) Basically creating a distant
refueling station for th enext legs of the trip.
Nah.. How about we do this on a massive scale on Earth to eliminate greenhouse gas
emissions and burn H2 which produces water vapor for exhaust.
Sound too much like Rainbow technology.
