Well done Nasa and JPL, Rob and Paolo and thanks. Everything looks brilliant. I'm looking forward to the next few years here at Unmannedspaceflight.com my favourite site on the web.

In the poll, seems like I head someone mention the lat/lon--anyone catch that?

The reported touchdown velocities were amazing--almost no horizontal velocity. The vehicle is tilted only 4 degrees. Masterful job as usual.

They listed some precise lat/lon but I was to dull to think to write it down - I'm sure someone did, though.

Good thing they were forward thinking and had those dust overs on the cameras; it looks like a fair amount of dust was kicked up. BTW AMAZING LANDING!

Rob and folks, you make this stuff look easy. Congratulations!

Looking at the trafickability maps modified by Tesh for Google Earth (Mars) with the reported touchdown co-ordinates -4.591817 137.440247. Looks nice and flat.
