Russia's amazing moon base: Everything we know - CNET

We started out in caves on Earth, so why not do the same on the moon? With the discovery of the first lava tube on the moon in 2011, underground shelter might be a viable option, and the Russians are all over it.

According to Reuters, Sergei Krikalyov, head of Russia's cosmonaut training program, notes, "This new discovery that the moon may be a rather porous body could significantly alter our approach to founding lunar bases. If it tus out that the moon has a number of caves that can provide some protection from radiation and meteor showers, it could be an even more interesting destination than previously thought."
