Because if they landed nose-first they'd crash, unacceptable given the cost to build them and unthinkable on manned flights.
The landing gear is at the base of the rocket, bear in mind also that manned missions need to return to earth so a nose-dive into the moon is impractical.
rockets
The rockets that carried astronauts to the moon were the Saturn V rockets. Specifically, Apollo 11, the first mission to land humans on the moon, launched with a Saturn V rocket.
The capsule on the tip of the rocket detaches when it leaves the atmosphere of earth, lands on the moon, then the capsule blasts off the moon and lands in the ocean in a "splashdown".
Rockets can land back on Earth at designated landing sites, on drone ships in the ocean, or can be designed to land on other celestial bodies like the Moon or Mars. The specific landing location depends on the mission requirements and the capabilities of the rocket.
Rockets use a combination of descent engines, guidance systems, and landing legs to land gently on the moon's surface. The descent is carefully controlled to ensure a safe and precise landing. Many missions also use retrorockets to slow down the descent and reduce the impact force upon landing.
We used rockets!

they only carry satellites then fall in pieces back to earthAnswer:There is no reason that a rocket cannot go to or land on the moon.The American lunar expeditions used a rocket to get to moon orbit, the landing craft used rockets to land on the moon and to leave the moon once the mission was accomplished.If the question is asking why rockets are not going to the moon this is a matter of policy or expenditure on science.

people invented rockets to the moon
When a moon's orbit is backwards, it is referred to as a retrograde orbit.
