A giant shell kind of like a dysons sphere but way smaller than a dysons sphere.

If the moon could ever be terraformed, that's the way you would have to do it. Or by building large areas of separate domes. I could see it starting as one dome and spreading out. This would be a huge task, though. More than meets the eye.

The biggest obstacle to terraforming the moon is that its day is a 29.5 days long. Any planets would probably die during the long night for lack of sunlight. Maybe they could hybernate, or evolve with half-month lifespans, release seeds, and grow again the next morning (half a month later). Mars would be a better choice for terraforming because it has a 24 hour day.

No. The materials would be to heavy to transport, and there is no way they could be lifted into place. Payloads to the Moon are currently running somewhere in the vicinity of $100,000 per pound.

Yes, there are several large coorperations already in line to market their products on the moon. A city has already been putinto play and it will be environmentally friendly to the planet.

Anyone giving a serious answer to this question is pipe dreaming.
