They found a suitable habitat for humans on the Moon: a lava tube,
essentially a big hole (100 meters deep and 100m wide). It shields the
crew from radiation and the extremes in temperatures on the Moon.


I wonder what the underground temperature is on the Moon?
I suspect it is lower than on planet Earth. If it is too low,
it likely would be simpler to bury a habitat on the surface under
rocks, grit, and dust at least the start.

Think how hard it would be to seal a lava caves cracks under
low temperatures.

Until I see close up pictures and have temp reading from
the lava cave that is my position..........................Trig
