I would put it in orbit around the Moon. There’s not much on the Moon, other than regolith at the bottom of a relatively shallow gravity well I guess. If you expect the Moon to be a stopover in space tourism, don’t make the people go down the gravity well, that’s a waste of energy for everyone who wants to visit it.

We could treat the Moon as a particularly large asteroid-mining process, don’t live on it, just extract resources.

I don’t think there’s much point in learning to live on all these different rocks. Most of space is space, we should focus on learning to live in space.
