I thought the use of space shuttle has stopped the traditional landing strategy of astronauts of parachute landing on water bodies? The space shuttle takes off and lands like a regular airplane. I think I need to refresh my memory on that.

Even SpaceX is seriously doing R & D into vertical space rocket take off and landing and best of all, re-usable space rocket (like you would a regular plane) which will

I imagine this was the "get it done using tried and true technology". It takes quite a lot to make an orbital vehicle that glides and lands like a plane, and this method reduced risk, weight, and increased chances of success. I'd be surprised if they didn't have a lander in the works already. They had already demonstrated boosters that land vertically (as opposed to splashing in the sea), so there's got to be ongoing work to extend that to orbital vehicles (though it would increase launching weight, with all the attendant costs and risks)

Immovable and flat Earth? I really have a hard time understanding flat-earthers. Even the Church (presumably the best interpreter of the Bible) came around to understanding that the world is not flat (disc or square)

- All the large bodies in space are ellipsoids: stars, planets, moons... yet Earth is the only flat one? Gravity pulls everything together, and the most natural shape is a sphere. Just like water in free fall (a water drop is held together by tension in all directions, and is decidedly not flat)

- there are TWO points on earth where it's either constantly dark, or constantly light (the poles, depending on season), like every other observable planet and moon. This cannot be achieved with a flat planet.

- likewise flat earth would imply you should always be able to see the moon... it should not sink below the horizon.

- there are satellites rotating around this "flat earth" like moons, giving you internet and gps... hard to keep things in orbit over a flat surface.

- the curvature of Earth is noticeable from the visibility of the windmills in the first picture. All the windmills are at shore level, yet the ones in the back appear lower. If they were indeed lower, they would be submerged in water (since the ocean would fill up anything below sea level)

- finally, planes routinely fly over or close to the poles because the distance from (e.g.) New York to Tokyo is shorter over the Arctic than along a meridian. In addition, if they kept flying in the same direction, they'd eventually arrive at their departing point again. A flat earth suggests that planes will eventually bump against the "end of the world" and have to turn back.

Please, there are serious things being done to advance human civilization and it really does a disservice to the truth when people willfully hold on to archaic understanding.

ofcuz u r rite but see the speed here,
How fast will Dragon Endeavour be going when it re-enters the Earth’s atmosphere? How hot will it get?

Crew Dragon will be traveling at orbital velocity prior to re-entry, moving at approximately 17,500 miles per hour. The maximum temperature it will experience on re-entry is approximately 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
The re-entry creates a communications blackout between the spacecraft and Earth that is expected to last approximately six minutes.

I took my time to read this comment but in the end there was nothing but religious delusion as fact stated. A simple flight from Lag to Abj will show you indisputable fact that the Earth is spherical; if that is too much expense for you, then ask why do people in U.S not see the break of dawn the same time Africans do?
Why some people will always use Religion to dispute Science is a sheer exhibition of illiteracy. The fact is when you study both religion and science, you actually reaffirm your belief in God.
Stop being like Boko haram telling people western education is a sin yet use weapons and technologies that emanated from it.
