I don’t know, could you have a sports car and winding roads on the moon?

I think you’d have to be disturbed to trade a beautiful warm earth for a cold hard rock, or cave, out in space.

Fun to dream about, though.
Heinlein had a spin on moon tourism - an immense underground cave, used for air storage, was a hot spot. In the 1/6 gravity, they fashioned wings and soared through the air like birds. For a few bucks, the locals would teach you to fly.

“Denison stopped hesitating.” — Asimov’s best line, imho.
Sure hope I remember it right.

Most Sci-fi gets it wrong. Extra-terrestrial planets and moons will not be major colonies. At best, they will provide materials for the real colonies, and that function will be 99.999% automated. We’ll hollow out moons and asteroids while we build gigantic ribbons of much more pleasant habitrails across the star system.
