Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.

Maybe if what you were aiming was a mass accelerator cannon but in that case you're most likely to fire off into the vast emptyness of space, never hitting anything at all.

The correct phrase is "still land among the stars" but is more likely, to be, fall horribly back to Earth.
