   If by ‘reality based’ you mean ‘down in the mud’ you might have an idea.

   That too. But also oriented generally toward “get ’er done” and “whatever works” and a lot less toward “the right way” or religion / philosophy.

   I’ve known quite a few folks who work with their bodies to make something, move or remove something, or otherwise find a way. They tend to restrict their “airy fairy” thoughts to when they’re too tired to work… and not yet asleep, which isn’t much time at all. But without fail they all know how to tie a knot, cut up a chicken, use leverage or generally be competent at their tasks. And though they’ll think and think hard about such things, they’re very unlikely to spend time on worrying about what’s “fair” or “right”.

   Folks who deal with oxen on a daily basis have a strong tendency to be reality based. And in those days, even folks who walked tended toward realism anyway. Except politicians and preachers.

   I’ve been reading the April series of SF novels by Mackey Chandler which are partly set in the moon. If you like space opera set in the coming century, you could do a lot worse. Chandler spends quite a few words describing how he envisions a Lunar city would be built. I’m reasonably like convinced.

   Easily. In fact I think it’s more likely to be something like a cross between apartments and condos. There will be rules about air pollution and signage, but not about keeping your grass mowed.

   When people do start living there, it’ll be IN the moon more than likely. Because burrowing in gives you a lot of good effects from meteorite protection to heat retention.
