There are so many things that you can land on land that will absolutely ruin your day. A large boulder, a large tree, a cliffside, a building, something flammable, near an angry hungry bear... Astronauts coming back to Earth after spending a significant amount of time in microgravity are also mostly helpless until they adapt to Earth's gravity again. The open sea is seen as safer in the American school of thought.
I read that as "safer than an American school" and I'm like well yeah, low bar
Did you see the Principal that tackled a shooter the other day? Bravo!
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a school administrator
In fairness, if you can throw a person at a person, one or both of those people are probably going to think twice about crossing you.
Russians would actually send their cosmonauts to space with a gun in case they encountered a bear before rescue while in the wilderness.
Tbf, USAF pilots generally got the same thing
I just had to look this up and it did not disappoint. It was apparently a triple barrel gun with a machete for a stock and only went out of service in 2006.
Or if they encounter space-bears before reentry
