Seemingly it has been the ROI, return on investment. The initial information gained from the moon treks goes from very large to small in a short time and the cost of each successive flight stays the same - what we get out of them goes down and down.
The last manned moon landing was in December 1972, during the Apollo 17 mission. No humans have returned to the moon since then.
Six Apollo missions landed astronauts on the moon between 1969 and 1972. A total of 12 astronauts have walked on the moon during these missions. Since then, no human has returned to the moon.
Apollo 17 landed on the moon on December 11th, 1972.
No astronauts have died on the moon. All astronauts who have traveled to the moon returned safely to Earth.
No Space Shuttles landed on the moon. Apollo capsules with lunar landing module went to the moon. The Apollos stayed in lunar orbit while the landing modules descended to the moon and then returned to the Apollo capsule. The capsules then returned to earth. Apollos 8 and 10 went into lunar orbit but returned without landing by design. The first Apollo mission to reach the moon, and land, was Apollo 11. Apollos 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 also landed on the moon and returned. Apollo 13 had an emergency, flew around the moon, and returned safely to earth.

Not since the 70s
The Apollo 11 went to the moon and returned safely to earth. But Apollo 13, did not land on the moon, as it exploded on the way to the moon, but it returned safely.
All 24 men who went to the moon returned safely to earth and lived a normal life thereafter.
not much of anything. certainly not water since it has been in a drought since the 70s.
Nope, it returned to NASA

The Space Shuttle is incapable of traveling to the moon. The only manned spacecraft to travel to the moon was the Apollo spacecraft, which flew 9 lunar missions in the late 1960s and early 70s. Of these lunar missions, 6 successfully landed on the moon. Since Apollo 17 in 1972, no humans have visited the moon. The Apollo spacecraft, however, took about three days to reach the moon.
