Best Answer

The space shuttle as we term it has never landed on the moon and never will. The shuttle cannot leave Low Earth Orbit.

Lunar landings have been done by capsules - or containers - that had very limited propulsion of their own and were part of yet another larger assemblage of equipment or landing modules. They were brought to orbit as part of yet another space vehicle. Not all of the landing module returned to orbit, and not all of what returned to orbit returned to Earth.
