It’s also much easier to hit what you aim for
water -> water
Land -> oops, that’s a tree, and that’s a boulder, and that’s a lake.
Although recovering the people is much easier on land, most of the time you can land a helicopter near the capsule, recovering the hardware is generally more difficult
Also where they are taking off and landing in Russia is a big flat wasteland. It’s the ocean of the land. There isn’t a lot of empty space in the US unless you are either in the desert or in the places we grow corn and wheat. Less shit to crash into when it’s water in the US.
