It's underused but for far more than its empty surface.
The low gravity would allow incredibly high building
The lack of atmosphere allows to use magnetic accelerator to reach orbital velocity
It's the only place where you can honestly build a space elevator and (one) said elevator would constantly point at Earth while also reaching Lagrange point L1.


It be like:
>MARS COLONY n°875561
>so it's a western, except sci-fi
>also bio-dome cause you can't actually breath out there

When it could be:
>MOON COLONY
>economic center because it's not far from Earth and offer both easy launch yet some gravity
>arrive to the elevator, 0G area, rotating colony linked to each other, each a biome
>descend by one of the space rail
>vacuum magrail get you there at incredible speed
>enter giant dome bigger than any Martian building could be
>forest of giant genetically engineered trees
>you can fly with plain electric propeller
>go underground
>giant open space city
>water from asteroid mining used in fake river systems
>the weak gravity allows gigantic waves, in a turn the waters basically flow on the walls
>reach industrial zone
>spaceship can be stored and take-off without needing magical antigrav
