They know how to do it even if they haven't done it before. There hasn't been much need to go back to the moon which is probably why they haven't bothered in the past. But since they recently found water there, and going to mars and mining asteroids are closer to reality than ever before, maybe establishing a base on the moon is less far-fetched than it used to be.
