And while many problems have been brought up, one has seldom been brought up. If you were to live on the moon, it might be exciting for the first 6 months or so, but eventually, the excitement will fade away, and you'll be living on a baron, gray rock for the rest of your life, either in a small habitat or in a bulky suit. You will suffer severe muscular atrophy, bone weakening, to a point where earth gravity would challenge you greatly. One of the most important factors is, It would be a constant night time, with the sun peaking out every day but no blue or bright sky of any kind to greet it, which could lead to tiredness, sadness, and hunger. There will likely be constant work and caution. With all this, the eternal night, the lack of the world humans brains evolved to feel comfort in, the feeling of isolation, the inability to walk outside without armor, and the health risks like radiation and muscular atrophy, it seems like life on the moon or europa or even mars to a lesser extent would be incredibly hard for many to manage.
What do you guys think? Would you live on mars? Do you think these factors will come into play in the near future?

You act like the environment on Earth doesn't make people miserable. I already want to walk around in a sealed armor suit but people look at me funny if I do.

The urban environment we have created does, but to less of an extent that I imagine the moon would. Also it would get annoying fast.

There are thought to be rare earth elements in certain parts of the moon, as well as gold and platinum, with the possibility of diamonds as well. And of course Helium-3 as others have mentioned.
