Yes, but there is also nothing on the moon worth going there for. Fusion resources are a pipe dream and anything you mine there would be much better mined off asteroids.
I’m of the opinion that if you want real space industry, leave the planets alone and go to the near-earth asteroids followed by the belt. If you want space tourism and money-sucking colonies then it doesn’t really matter which location you pick - they’re all bad.
