Space rockets don't land in space. They land on foreign bodies. Taking Apollo 11, the first Moon landing, as an example, the vehicle that brings the astronauts into space is not the vehicle that usually lands on the target. The Columbia rocket (not to be confused with the lost space shuttle with the same name) entered lunar orbit, and then deployed the Eagle lander. It was the Eagle that brought Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the lunar surface. The Eagle had a rocket built into it that later brought the astronauts back to the Columbia for the return trip to Earth.

As others have reported, the gap holiday lands on a runway. frequently at Cape Canaveral in Florida, or Edwards Air rigidity base in California. There are some different accessible landing strips they could use if needed. NASA even reserves a landing strip in Spain in case an emergency landing desires to be made throughout launch, yet this hasn't ever been used. the US area drugs (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo) all landed contained in the Pacific Ocean, except for some the very early Mercury manned launches which weren't meant to enhance that far. those landed contained in the Pacific. The Soviet/Russian drugs land on land. frequently in Kazakhstan. the gap businesses are quite reliable at getting area craft to go back down the position they choose them. From Earth orbit, it only a remember of making some careful calculations and firing unfashionable rockets on the right time to go back out of orbit even as the time is sweet.
