It depends. Objects on the Moon weigh 1/6 of what they weigh on Earth , but the Moon has a rougher surface and the spacecraft cannot be closely monitored by chase planes or easily by people in a control room. It's also much easier and cheaper to send a spacecraft into orbit and land on Earth than the Moon, and costs less. In addition it depends on what kind spacecraft; it's easier to land a space-plane like design (such as a space shuttle) on Earth. A Lunar lander, such as the Apollo would be more suited to land on the Moon.

Can you land on Saturn's rings with a spaceship?

No, you cannot land on Saturn's rings with a spaceship. Saturn's rings are made up of billions of particles of ice and rock ranging in size from tiny grains to a few meters across, so landing on them would be like trying to land on a cloud. Additionally, the gravity of Saturn would prevent a spaceship from stably landing on the rings.
