Did they land a module in solid ground!!?? Holy fucking shit, that's so awesome, maybe it is more common than I realise but still holy shit it's impressive

I'm guessing their capsules are based on Soyuz and those have been designed to land on the ground.

Probably easier and safer than landing in the pacific, which I imagine is full of trade routes they probably don't want to risk disrupting.
