Here is a really fascinating story. The world's largest undergrond business complex in a limestone mine in Missouri.
From the article:
[...]
It was created by digging into the Bethany Falls limestone mine and is, in places, 160 feet beneath the surface.
The complex contains almost 7 miles of illuminated, paved roads and several miles of railroad track.
This reminds me of Logans Run or THX; an underground city still alive after a nuclear holocaust.
Actually, it suggests a model for future settlements on the Moon or Mars or whatnot. We won't be able to build a habitat on the surface of any planet because, with no atmosphere (or little atmosphere) and no magnetic field there would be nothing to protect settlers from radiation from solar storms. We are going to have to learn to live underground at some point, or remain on Earth. This gives us a head start in developing the methods to do so.
And while older folks may find it disconcerting, the young who grow up in such an environment will think it perfectly normal.
And if you make the caves really big (as you can do in lower gravity on the Moon or Mars or Callisto or whatnot) you will lose the sense of being underground. In fact, you could make a habitat very Earthlike, with bluing on the ceiling to mimic blue skies, with an artificial sun, even projecting starts onto the dome at night.
Except for the air purifiers and water pumps, you could build a rural land, a pastroral paradise. It need never get really cold. Storms wouldn't be necessary, too; just gentle rains from springklers. Housing could be inside the rock walls, or you could live in a tent for all of that. Back to the Earth types could find a space habitat very appealing, because it could well be more in tune with nature than the home world.
I know; I'm a dreamer. But then, so were the Pilgrims who settled at Plymouth. You have to start somewhere.
And eventually Mankind must leave this planet or be doomed to extinction like all the other species in history. The only way to avoid the dinosaur trap is to settle the rest of the solar system.
As Arthur C. Clark put it "Earth is Man's cradle, but you cannot stay in the cradle forever".
