After writing that peice on the evacuation I decided to draw it out.
As you can see, the Moon has limited water and foliage making it less than ideal for large amounts of people. Also, those ships around are additionally carrying refugees. They ARE MASSIVE. Some about the size of a city. They orbit the moon using it to help protect against long exposure to radiation from the sun. Not every ship can fit back there safely and smaller ships are given priority over the larger better insulated ones. About 90% of the Refugees are on the Moon however, in camps located in the deserts of the moon or swamps.

Ah, actually, there is a new story i'm working on that requires a massive planetary evacuation. However this one is a tad darker. Only colonial rescue ships, and there is detail on the fate of those left behind. 10 billion, and only about 800 million can escape. Some in as desperate measures as orbital transports not capable of warp or long range drives.
