Should you use a moon or the moon?

Use "a moon" when you are speaking generically about moons in general, or when you are saying things that are common to many moons.

Use "the Moon" (capitalized) when referring to Earth's Moon specifically. ________________ It is an astronomy question, so it is possible the questioner is asking about exploiting our (or any) moon in various ways. There will be vigorous debate, for sure. I think we should use the moon in any way that will help us. Humans being what they are, huge elements of greed and power-grabbing will come into play. But if we can make use of the moon as a space port (there are reasons to believe that large amounts of necessary water are present), or as a source of various minerals, or perhaps as a dump for different kinds of waste, we should do so. There may be one kind or another of colony on the moon, but it is not likely that the moon would be permanently colonized. The gravity would work against the general health of humankind, and the moon will never have or be able to sustain an actual atmosphere. As we learn more and more about energy physics looking ahead by centuries, the far side of the moon might be a useful site for various experiments that would be too dangerous to attempt on earth. The moon is there, and it is a resource. We should use it, and learn about it to the extend possible. Ditto other moons in the solar system, with the exception of moons/planets that might be able to be terra-formed.

Should the word 'moon' be capitalized?

The word moon should be capitalised when referring to it by name. It then becomes a proper noun and should be capitalised. It should not be capitalised when referring to an object that orbits a planet. Humans went to the Moon in 1969. Jupiter has a moon called Ganymede. The Earth has a moon, we call it The Moon.
