Glass domes on the Moon is the pitch Skyeports LLC is running with, and NASA is funding the study through the LUNGS project. The play: lunar soil gets melted down with microwave technology, then that molten glass gets shaped into big spherical structures. Insulation and radiation shielding come from stacking multiple glass layers packed with argon gas, ringed by lunar soil. Same transparent habitat idea is on the table for Mars too, built from whatever resources are already sitting there, with future human settlements as the endgame.
