I mean, I don't know. All I'm saying is that if someone can solve interstellar travel then they can probably land without crashing.

On Earth, (this is pulled up from Gemini) The global all-accident rate is 1.32 accidents per million flights. This equates to roughly a 1 in 759,646 chance of a flight experiencing any kind of accident (both major and minor).

We have a super low probability of crashing and yet we haven't solved interstellar travel.

Nobody is perfect, sure. But I'd wager that figuring out how to traverse light years only to crash is most likely bullshit.
