I think the future of lunar bases has to be somewhere around the South or North Pole. You have less variation in temperature and more daylight hours.

The only time I had what you would call life-threatening fear was when I was on the Moon. Towards the end of our stay, we got excited and we were going to do the high jump, and I jumped and fell over backwards. That was a scary time, because if the backpack got broken, I would have had it. But everything held together.

It certainly is possible to construct a moon base in such a way that crews could stay for extended periods of time.
