I doubt people living on the moon would get outside much. I think Heinlein
had it right in The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress when he had one of his
characters say (and I paraphase) that the only people that ever went topside
were those that really really had to and tourists taking their obligatory
"Moon Walk".

Sooo as long as there is one or two nice spots for the tourists to walk
around on the only other people up there will likely just be the guys
driving the mining machines through the slag heaps.
