The lander took pictures of the surface, compared them with it's internal map and adjusted it's course to correctly land in the correct place... all on it's own, no help from Earth because of the time lag. That's clever!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
