No, NASA has not been operating a base on the moon for more than twenty years. NASA has not established a permanent base on the moon yet. They have plans for future lunar missions under the Artemis program, aiming to return humans to the moon by the mid-2020s.
After his historic Apollo 11 mission in 1969, Neil Armstrong did not return to the moon because NASA's focus shifted towards other space exploration objectives, such as building the International Space Station and sending missions to Mars. Armstrong also transitioned into other roles within NASA and the aerospace industry after retiring as an astronaut.
No, the NASA space shuttle did not land on the moon. The space shuttles were designed for low Earth orbit missions and were not capable of making the journey to the moon. The Apollo missions were responsible for landing astronauts on the moon.
NASA aims to return humans to the Moon by the year 2024 with the Artemis program. The Artemis missions will land the first woman and the next man on the Moon, paving the way for future exploration and potential colonization.

Man will almost certainly return to the moon some day, but it may be a while. All NASA programs are under the budget axe, and that is not likely to change soon. Add to that the fact that we already have been to the moon, making a return there a low priority.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy challenged NASA to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth by the end of the decade. This challenge led to the Apollo program and resulted in the successful Moon landing by Apollo 11 in 1969.
