I’ve thought about this before and I like it. It would be a great proof of concept for colonizing Mars if we could build the domed habitats that Mars colonizers are proposing and make them work in an arctic environment. It would be a good first step, but everyone thinks we can just magically erect a lunar colony and the only thing stopping us is the Federal government. You know, the great explorers did it despite the bureaucracy. When it’s technologically possible, it will get done. Right now, it isn’t.
