Should we have given up on the Moon until we felt the technology was mature enough to make stays there permanent?

No, what part of I’m not addressing the past didn’t you get?

I’m saying is that astronauts are now antiquated, hallmarks of a bygone era like whale oil and shoe store x-ray machines. We shouldn’t plan on resurrecting the profession until we’re ready to permanently settle a colony.
