To be fair it's looking increasingly likely that it will be China and not the US that will be making actual moon bases.

For sure. Maybe once every few months the US will contract spaceX to throw a tesla at the PRC's moon base just to be annoying.

like how they used to catapult rotting corpses into besieged enemy walls to spread pestilence. lol

"Increasingly likely" is undercutting it.

People think normal people will be able to go to the moon base and it won't just be penthouses for the 1% to rule the Earth from somewhere that Mario's brother can't get to?

Lol .... when we go to terraform a planet with a new atmosphere ...... it will immediately be just pollution that will cause runaway global warming.

I was imagining tunnels underground. Like lava tubes.

An Exxon gas station!? Really?
Was this picture made in 2005?

You're more likely to find a charging station with SGCC written on it if you're lucky,
because it'll more likely be 国家电网 as latin letters will have lost all status.

The meme creator forgot the nuclear power plant NASA is going to build

The Moonday Letters touches upon some of this in an interesting way.

Not exactly cyberpunk but very much with the bitter taste of lingering capitalism.
