I heard news about this on NPR this week, that they had identified some really large caves on the moon (former lava tubes). Excellent news, because they need that to protect from the radiation since the moon has no atmosphere. It could also protect from potential meteor strikes and help with temperature control.
The moon is packed with Helium 3, which currently sells on Earth as high as $2000 per liter. Someone will eventually go up there to mine it, and they will need a safe place to stay that doesn't involve wearing a spacesuit 24/7.
