The initiative at the moment is to employ mobile living space on the moon - think RVing on the moon. Since the moon lacks mass transit (at the moment), the ability to move your work crew to a new area is highly attractive. However, we probably wouldn't want to move a large telescope that we build on the dark side of the moon.
GR will not be wrong if anti-matter falls up.
The stretched fabric analogy of space-time depends on an outside force (Earth's gravity) to provide direction. GR lacks a dependence on an outside force - especially Gravity - to provide a direction.
Anti-matter could still follow the curvature of space-time, just in the opposite direction.

The next thing you know, they'll be taxing your bike miles on top of the NYS fee that you'll pay to license your bike.

Moon dust isn't as stable as you might think. Static electricity from solar wind causes dust bunny issues up there. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/07dec_moonstorms.htm
