Moon hole might be suitable for colony

cnn, jan 1, 2010

quote:

The vertical hole, in the volcanic Marius Hills region on the moon's near side, is 213 feet wide and is estimated to be more than 260 feet deep, according to findings published in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.

You could put a geodesic dome over something this size.

Nobody thinks you could make a moon base because hardly anybody thinks about it much.  Gingrich was lambasted for the idea, but it isn't a bad project for a country to undertake.  Other countries are planning moon bases.  Only the USA seems to lack interest.
