Does anyone really want to live on the moon? I mean it's a cool and dreamy idea but would you actually do it?

  Life on the moon is likely to develop in much the same way that humans settled in far-flung places on Earth. The first people to arrive and live on the moon will be there for a work-related reason (research, military posting, etc.). Those people will settle down, have families and form a community. Over time, the communities will grow and evolve into a distinct Moon culture and society.

    Why hasn't that happened in Antarctica?

    Also, this is how I imagine people will be spending their time on the moon.
