A structure, system, and method utilize horizontal hole cavities on the moon for constructing dwellings, shopping areas, factories, industrial and power plants, government offices, towns, and for unmanned robot devices where cosmic rays and ultraviolet are not directly incident. The horizontal hole cavities are also utilized to store trash such as all waste materials on the earth including waste or trash, hazardous materials, and radioactive waste as well as all waste materials on the moon including such things as waste or trash, hazardous materials, and radioactive waste. The radioactive waste includes spent fuel, radioactive soil, radioactive liquid, and radioactive material produced by nuclear power plants during normal and accident conditions. The vertical hole cavities are utilized for building elevators and stairs, and pipes supplying oxygen produced by photosynthesis devices on the moon's surface and carbon dioxide produced by humans in the cavity are used as conduits.
