Why do think a spacecraft would not be able to land on any of the outer planets?
The outer planets are gas giants, made mostly or entirely of gas, so either there is no surface to land on, or even if there is, it lies underneath such a large amount of atmosphere that the atmospheric pressure would crush any spaceship that tried to land there. However, the outer planets also have lots of moons, which would be very suitable places for spacecraft to land.
