It is. It's just never been done in the US before. Note that the
Russians have *always* landed on land.
That's not quite true. We did land 100+ shuttle flights on land.
True, X-38 and shuttle both land on runways. I should have specified
that the US has never done it with a manned capsule.
And Stardust and I believe some other missions have landed on land.
True. A few unmanned capsules have landed on land in the US.
