Thanks... I missed it (on the way home) but had my fingers crossed. I'll feel better when JPL lets us put on a precision landing system (something that does real-time image analysis to steer the lander away from boulders and ditches, I worked on one a couple of years ago). Landing blind... it's a crapshoot, and forces us towards flat-and-featureless "mattress" landing sites (away from the most scientifically interesting spots).
