Rocket wont land at all

The rocket shouldn't be there  but you can still land it

Step 1:
Change destination to orbit

Let the rocket reach destination

Step 2:
Land the rocket by clicking "land here" on the rocket platform

Step 3:
Watch the rocket land

Thank you so very much ! It works now!

It was my first time using rockets on Spaced/Vanilla. I had no idea what I was doing tbh. 

Funnily enough I tried doing exactly this before I posted here, but it would just send the rocket to the image here and wouldn't let me land.

The same thing happened to me.  Rocket reached the target planet, but did not land.  I was able to fix in the same way as described by sakura_sk, thanks.  Some observations:

• The starmap bugged out.  When this happened, I couldn't see the ship at all on the starmap.  Save-reload caused the ship to re-appear, but on the target planet.  Inability to land persisted.
• I had also changed landing pads, i.e. deconstructed my original landing pad, created a new one on the planetoid, so this may be why the rocket couldn't land.

I had that very same issue. The issue might be caused by a second landing pad that i constructed while the rocket was already in-flight..

Changed Status to Fixed
