We are going 2

Space is not life-friendly for human beings. But NASA, it seems, is determined to build a base on the Moon by 2024. They'll have to figure out how to provide air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, tolerable pressure, temperatures that don't freeze us or fry us. A lunar day in the sun can be hot enough to boil water. A lunar night is brutally cold.

But, surprisingly, a stable temperature environment has been discovered on the Moon's surface:

"NASA-funded scientists have discovered shaded locations within pits on the Moon that always hover around a comfortable 63 F . . ." That's human-friendly.
