Watching the live feed was a blast. When they said they received the exact landing coordinates I was extremely curious to see it plotted vs their targeted landing zone, but unfortunately they haven't shown it yet. However, I could audibly hear an engineer in the background say "Oof, well, we'll take it!"

Anyone seen anything about the precise location yet?

> UNOFFICIAL but it looks like Percy landed right on the edge of the Mafic Floor Unit, with older (probably sedimentary) rocks that were buried by it only a short drive away.

In one of the previous threads about Mars missions, one of the comments was how we have gotten to the ability of "land it close enough, and we'll drive the rest of the way". Seems pretty accurate for this mission.
