"Lunar lava tubes may potentially serve a role as enclosures for human habitats. Tunnels larger than 300 metres (980 ft) in diameter may exist, lying under 40 metres (130 ft) or more of basalt with a stable temperature of −20 °C (−4 °F). These natural tunnels provide protection from cosmic ray radiation, meteorites, micrometeorites, and ejecta from impacts. They are shielded from the variations in temperature at the lunar surface, which would provide a stable environment for inhabitants."

- deftnerd 11y agoThat's a big if... and they'll be pretty hard to find. They would need to set up some seismographs and either use explosives or meteor impacts to map the interior of the moon to try to find accessible lava tubes.
