The biggest issue to me at this point is why no one has gone back since to attempt colonization?
I sincerely believe you don't understand what you just said there. Especially since it's almost impossible to have this discussion without the most obvious answers always coming out.
A lunar colony serves so purpose other than a money pit unless there is profit to be had. Without the technology to spring board deeper into the solar system, no such profit exist. You even imply you know this is the correct answer. You just argued against yourself to invlidate the entire talking point.
It's almost as if you can't parse stream of thought. Or logic. Or words.
Some people can't be saved.
