Freespace is easier to get to and from, and offers full-g, zero-g and everything in-between. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_habitat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_habitat Freespace also can offer low data latency -- low-enough even for realistic telepresence (e.g. sub 400 ms) (http://www.google.com/search?q=%22400+ms%22+conversation+latency http://www.google.com/search?q=%22400+ms%22+conversation+lat...). The moon probably would not be very popular, except for mining crews.
