Spaceships leave the atmosphere altogether and enter outerspace.

Orbiting spacecraft do normally remain in the thermosphere, above the "Kármán Line" which is the accepted point where outer space starts.

Why can't space shuttles land on the moon?

Space shuttles do not have the capacity to hold enough fuel to reach the moon. Also, they could not land on the moon as they need a runway and have no other alternative way of landing. They are designed to land in Earth's atmospheric conditions. All round, they are most unsuitable for reaching the moon and were only designed to be in earth orbit.
