"Any participant can withdraw at any time." What a huge relief. :') Yeah, Antarctica is claimed by a few countries still, I think, but the only attempt at colonization was on Deception cove (or bay, or whatever), by the Chileans. Somethin' to do with the climate? ;')

Something to do with the climate.. Yeah... LOL!
Same thing with Moon, space in general.. No Atmosphere, extreme temperatures, specialized structures/clothing (pressurized atmosphere) etc..
Survival becomes pre-eminent concern..
As was said by a great writer,
"The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress"..
