    The big problem with space is overheating. Space may be cold but there is no way to get rid of that heat except for radiators. Convection doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

      Right, but conduction does work on the moon. You have the ground as a giant heatsink. While the surface does get pretty hot in daylight, I am guessing that heat doesn’t go very deep so you could probably bury your cooling lines.

      It just requires humans up there to dig and bury the cooling lines.
