Not if you bury it in regolith. That’s an idea for a Lunar base too. The design is called “Hobbit holes.” Bury the occupied structures in piles of basically any local mass you can bury them in. It’s another huge problem for orbit though. Shielding would add a ton of mass and destroy the economics. | ||

Lunar regolith is so abrasive that digging holes or tunnels isn't going to be cost effective. | ||
