In You Only Live Twice, Blofeld's evil company SPECTRE manages to "spacejack" Gemini-esque American and Russian orbiters. Among the several ridiculous parts of the spacejacking operation was the landing: an oversized orbiter, containing a large amount of mechanical equipment as well as another orbiter, makes a soft landing, on land, by a combination of the Apollo-style blunt body re-entry and retrofiring rockets instead of using a parachute.
How implausible is this particular aspect of the operation?
