I do suspect that this is right. But I grew up reading Heinlein and
Clarke, so I still have these atavistic yearnings. High-grade full
immersion VR telefactors will probably make it feel as if one is there.
(But then again, no-one ever said Luna City *had* to be built for
humans. Could be a palace of robotic AIs... once we get some.)
