If we couldn't fix it, why make more people and lay that burden on them.

2 week long nights will kill any plant, at least down to the roots. 2 week long days will kill most. Can't garden on moon. Not without grow lights. Maintaining temperature isn't enough.

I'd say religious extremists should be loaded on cruise ships and denied port entry until their god manifests them a new continent (it's close enough to their bible), but at the rate things are going with Antarctica that's far too lenient.
