It takes two days to get from scapa flow to the channel and 5 minutes to sink a battleship when you have air superiority. People who think a landing was impossible are just imbeciles with zero idea of military matters and this opinion is a recent one not something taken seriously back then. There's little doubt Germany could get a foothold on England but the longer it waited the less good that would do. Their best chance was right after beating France when there was virtually no defense in place, air superiority or no air superiority, and by mid 1941 it would have been incredibly difficult. Irocially Hitler the big risk taker played it safe in the one route that he could have actually won the war.
