Earth's moon is by far the next most populace body in the Sol system since it has been steadily colonized almost since the human race began stretching out beyond the bounds of their homeworld.
There are dozens of domed cities built on the surface of the moon, most of which have been built into existing craters, a practice that, while having no real structural or other engineering purpose, was how they began building them initially and so the practice simply continued as more and more facilities were constructed.
While most of the structures on the moon's surface are cities, there are a great many that are agricultural or fabrication oriented, large factories or greenhouses.
The largest structure on the surface of the moon is easily the city of Tranquility, which is built inside the massive crater of the same name.
Travel between the Earth Ring Station and the moon is relatively quick, with most ships being able to make the trip in around four hours.
