You can boost in the upper atmosphere, which isn't space.

You mean, like go into space? But the waypoint is down on the planet, that makes no sense!

It was always my assumption that this happens because it generates everything when you land and as you find crash sites they move further away from you because you've already explored the close ones. I'm sure I'm wrong, but it is what helps me sleep at night.

I've gone halfway around the planet, started anew and it tries to send me back to that spot again..
I've even tried warping out and back into the system to fix it, no joy.

Had it happen to me today. I noticed that sometimes, the ship is "in" the planet, sometimes it is not. (same ship) What I did was went to space station, then went back to planet, flew to north pole (top) then looped down until I saw it. At that point I engaged boost and nosedived into the atmosphere right at the ship. Finally got there. Unfortunately, the ship was only worth scrapping, not taking.
For those that do not know, you can scrap the tech from the ship if you do it right. Make sure you have as many open slots in your current ship inventory as possible. 4 is usually enough until you get larger ships. Go to target ship, transfer inventory and take the junk ship. Disassemble everythingyou can, then return to the ship you left, it will have a different name and may even look different. I had mine turn into what looked like an x-wing and was called Maz. No joke. Anyway, when you get back to your ship, click to take it back (it ttransforms back into the ship you had) Move inventory back then take control. Old ship scrapped, lots of good loot if you are lucky.
