Japan finds Moon Cave perfect for setting up a Moon Base

Scientists have fantasised for centuries about humans colonising the moon. That day may have drawn a little closer after Japan’s space agency said it had discovered an enormous cave beneath the lunar surface that could be turned into an exploration base for astronauts.
...This week scientists at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) confirmed the presence of a cave after examining the hole using radio waves.
The chasm, 50km (31 miles) long and 100 metres wide, appears to be structurally sound and its rocks may contain ice or water deposits that could be turned into fuel, according to data sent back by the orbiter, nicknamed Kaguya after the moon princess in a Japanese fairytale.
Jaxa believes the cave...is a lava tube created during volcanic activity about 3.5bn years ago.
...Lava tubes “might be the best candidate sites for future lunar bases, because of their stable thermal conditions and potential to protect people and instruments from micrometeorites and cosmic ray radiation,” Haruyama said.

Optimus Prime is not going to appreciate having his home invaded.

I bet those radio waves used to explore the hole looked like tentacles

Excuse me, but just what the hell does Japan think it's doing by studying the property of USA so closely?
This would be like if some passerby just knocked on my front door to tell me there's a sinkhole forming in my yard. I'd be like, "What the frick are you doing checking out my yard, a-hole? Get out of here!"
The Moon is ours. We claimed it. No one else gets to even look at it.

Japan is the "guy that flies a drone over your backyard to watch your daughter sunbathe" member of the space-faring community.

Since it is moving away from Earth's orbit at about an inch per year, what are "our" plans to stop this?
