Absolutely. When designing a space mission, a balance must be achieved between the weight of the payload being launched and the size and duration of the mission. In essence, until we develop better means of utilizing potential extra-terrestrial sources of water, we will be limited in the size and duration of our manned space missions. Ultimately it boils down to cost.
