Rockets do not land in space; they operate in a vacuum and do not have a solid surface to land on. However, when returning to Earth, rockets can use controlled descent techniques, such as parachutes or retropropulsion, to slow down and land safely. Some spacecraft, like SpaceX's Falcon 9, utilize thrusters to perform a precision landing back on Earth or on a drone ship in the ocean. In the context of landing on celestial bodies like the Moon or Mars, rockets use specific landing gear and propulsion systems to touch down safely on their surfaces.

If a space shuttle takes off from earth and leaves the atmosphere and come straight down would it land in the same spot it took off from?

No! The Earth we stand on is rotating, and if a rocket were to launch straight up and come right back down the Earth would have rotated to the right and the space craft would land to the west of the launch pad.
