If they had kept going after reaching the moon, i feel like by now, we would’ve developed the technology to establish a colony on the moon. So why stop?

Moon rockets were the same rockets as ICBM. Once they got those, it was expensive to develop much further for no clear gain. If the other guy started doing it developing your own base to observe them might be nice but otherwise it was just firing money into space.
