Colonies on the Moon?

yyyyy... I have some bad news - some time ago an idiot sold moon out and now there is no parcel left ;P

The moon isn't an option. With the lack of an atmosphere, it is literally like a dart board with small comets and rocks constantly hitting its surface.

I think a viable moon base could be built if it was built underground or into the side of a mountain. Maybe I've read too much Heinlein------All his moon dwellings were underground tunnels and caverns. I don't remember any of the Appollo missions being hit by meteorites. I can't remember what happened to Appollo 13, but I think it was an internal problem.
