Not even a cozy hotel on the moon, overlooking the earth?

I'd be down, but it's more likely going to be an awful penal mining colony armed with nukes pointed back down at us.

The moon is a useless place to locate military weaponry for use against earth.

It would take those nukes three days to reach earth, which is a huge amount of time for countermeasures to target and destroy them. And a handful of responding nukes could easily wipe out all lunar military sites and personnel, while lunar weapons could barely nick Earths military capabilities.
