From the Lascaux cave paintings in France to Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," underground caves carry the thoughts and spirit of human civilization. Scientists have discovered that the most suitable lunar location for human habitation may be underground lava tube caves to avoid the dangers of solar wind and micrometeorites. Therefore, human exploration of "outer space" and return to "underground" are intertwined, and the space under the moon has become a dual metaphor for the origin of human civilization. Our digital imaginings of lunar survival systems correspond to the theme of "utopia versus dystopia", with people often taking extreme judgments about "space habitation" - something that is often reflected in many science fiction movies. In fact, no matter why we end up living on the moon, we may face a wonderful experience: a self-sufficient lunar ecosystem can not only ensure our comfortable survival, but also shape another kind of "person" at the same time—— In contrast to modern humans, who begin by leaving caves, "future humans" begin by returning to caves.
