Could Moon Icemoon ice be used to fuel a Steam Powered Jetpacksteam powered jetpack for EVA in space or high altitude exploration on the moon?

forFor long term moon operations, would it be practical to have a jetpack that used steam as a source for EVA on the moon surface and above it in orbit?

I imagine a scenario where lunar ice deposits found in craters could potentially be loaded into a canister and melted in the the lunar sufacesurface heat of the sun, putting it under pressure in the canister to be released as steam to allow the user to ascend to heights for exploration in craters, mountains and potentially maybe escape the moons gravity to low moon orbit.

Would that be possible with water/steam setup in a mobile cannister/nozzle scenario on the moon - where the ice could be a resource for this exploration instead of carting fuel to the surface? orOr would one have to still use traditional jetpack fuels for this purpose?
