Had they actually been to the moon they may have known that all those years ago.

It helps but there are still quite a few issues to resolve before we colonize either the moon or Mars.

1. The deleterious effects of low to zero gravity on the human body over time.
2. Shielding habitats from cosmic radiation. Building traditional shielding ain't hard...it's getting that shielding out of Earth's gravity well. Alternatives? They are working on it.
3. Providing other resources needed to support a colony where no resources exist. Again, getting those resources to space may prove to be cost prohibitive. Let's all go mine asteroids, shall we?

There are still a myriad of problems no one has the solution to...yet. Even though the human race slowed the pace of exploration, it can't be blamed on us not wanting to keep going. Rather, the obstacles transcended man's technology, ability and resources at the time. And they still do.

Too late, the moon is taken.

You forgot how zero gravity affects speaker bass response over time.

You'd need a fair few Krell power amps, alongside the Krill. Vanilla Ice might go down well.

I agree with your thoughts. IMHO, the greatest obstacle will actually be addressing the problem of the human condition. The psycho-social demands will be at the most extreme with any form of exoplanet colonization. Our species presently struggles with peaceful assembly and cooperation in our current surroundings let alone placement in an extreme environment with limited resources such as an exoplanet colony. Humankind simply has not evolved into such an environment. Just my 2 cents.

Regards
