It should be combined with lunar orbiting ground-penetrating radar as a pre-moonbat characterization to find the best tubes before a MoonBat flies inside. Then, after the best tubes characterized by MoonBats are selected, they should be explored by wall-crawling robots using gecko-tech footpads to hold themselves to the ceiling and walls. Finally, a human team can give the OK to send inflatable habitats for a phase 1 lunar base inside the no radiation/no dust/no temperature swing environment of a lunar cave. They can then start tele-operated ISRU operations on the surface to cut costs for future development of the site.

You remember…where Sir Oliver Lindenbrook followed Arne Saknussemm’s path to the center of the earth.
